retention – Infinit-I Workforce Solutions – Safety Learning Management System

Every year, the American Transportation Research Institute releases an annual report regarding the top 10 concerns of trucking professionals for this year. The ATRI spends months gathering data through surveys, analyzes responses from all over the industry, and releases information on key focus areas for the upcoming year.

Infinit-I offers instantly deployable solutions to several of these topics. Minimize four of the top 10 trucking industry concerns today.

CSA Score

The CSA program ranks professional drivers based on their performance and safe driving record. CSA points are based on a truck driver’s actions based on the severity of the infraction and then awarded to the driver’s employer. It can be assumed that a company with a high CSA score employs a fleet of unsafe drivers.

An elevated CSA score will negatively impact the overall success and profitability of a trucking company, mainly regarding insurance eligibility and costs.

Infinit-I offers a comprehensive CSA module (84 videos and 7 expert webinars) specifically designed to reduce CSA scores through awareness and behavioral changes. This module is immediately deployable to your entire fleet.

Hours of Service

Frequently shifting regulations have led to confusion and misunderstandings surrounding the hours of service changes that took place this year. Drivers now question when to switch to off-duty, whether they can take an extended break, and how their detention pay will be affected.

Drivers who are not fluent in the new language presented in the HOS regulations are liable to receive violations for HOS infractions. Even simple mistakes can lead to non-compliance violations that pose a serious impact on CSA scores.

Proactivity and training are your best option to avoid violations and preserve (and even reduce) your CSA score. Our course catalog contains a 10-part series that breaks the entire concept down into easily digestible, microlearning sessions designed for knowledge retention.

Insurance Costs

Freight operators are continuously challenged by the rising cost of insurance for commercial vehicles. In recent years, numerous trucking companies have had no choice but to cease operations in surrender to rising insurance premiums.

One way to reduce your insurance costs is to manage your risk. Invest in your safety culture by curating the safest fleet on the road. Proper continual training of your fleet will lead to improved driver behavior and break negative behavioral patterns.

Company culture, awareness training, technology usage, etc. are all intangible factors that will influence your insurance renewal rate. Infinit-I provides you with all the training you need to prove your dedication to safety and your fleet’s performance enhancement.

Driver Retention

As with any job, adequate and competent leadership can make or break an employee’s satisfaction. This is especially true in trucking, where the number of jobs industry-wide heavily outweighs the number of drivers.

The driver shortage creates an imbalance that favors truck drivers over trucking companies. A driver can leave one company for any reason, post a resume, and have the phone ringing in minutes from quota-hungry recruiters scouring the nation for drivers.

In the haze of fluorescent lights, computer screens, and KPIs, we can become laser-focused on creating the safest and most efficient fleets on the road. In doing so, it is easy to forget your drivers are people. They deserve respect and loyalty, too, especially since their job takes place out on the front lines at the heart of the operation.

Your operations team and your drivers should be experiencing a fulfilling relationship: one of give and take, one of bonding, one of mutual respect. If your dispatchers and drivers aren’t experiencing a fulfilling relationship, the job is simply not worth it. They will move on.

The average onboarding cost of one truck driver hovers around $10,000. How many new drivers do you bring on per year? Most trucking companies experience between 85-105% turnover. Our safety program is proven to significantly reduce turnover rates. One extremely successful client experienced a 53% reduction in turnover after implementing our platform.

While a 53% reduction is the best-case scenario, consider how a modest 5% reduction in turnover would impact your bottom line. With a fleet of 100 trucks, a 5% reduction would save your company $50,000 annually. Use the following formula to figure your savings.

Improve ROI for Trucking Companies

Growing your business isn’t just about earning money. You have to spend money to start growth, which means you need to look at the Return on investment (ROI) for each of those expenses. Each purchase decision you make should lead you closer to your company goals.

Incorporating a secure, online training and communications tool like Infinit-I for your company could improve your overall ROI and lead you towards those goals. Infinit-I Workforce Solutions can help you strengthen weak spots, stop money leaks, and empower innovation and leadership.

We have seen through years of experience in the transportation industry, that all aspects of the business tie together, even if they don’t seem to connect at first. For example, your driver-dispatcher relationships can have a significant impact on your profits.

6 ROI Improvements

With the right communication and training tools, you can help everyone in your company listen, learn, understand, change unwanted behaviors, and contribute toward company goals. Infinit-I provides solutions for trucking companies that improve your ROI in six basic ways.

1. Streamline Onboarding, Training, and Documentation

Infinit-I Workforce Solutions can help you through many levels in the hiring process. Using our system, you can communicate with new hires, set up pre-orientation training, and start off with a professional impression. With Infinit-I, you can:

Screen potential drivers with training materials to complete before hiring them.
Attract quality drivers by showing you are serious about training, proper driving habits, and follow-through.
Train drivers without the hassle of pulling them in for on-site training using our online training system.
Save money on training costs by not spending it on training drivers can’t or won’t attend.
Securely and automatically document all completed training for easy access whenever it’s needed.
Provide a message portal for each driver with customized training based on their needs.
Securely upload documentation for benefits, HR info, etc. for easy access.
Provide welcome messages to give new hires a glimpse at what the job looks like.

You will also save money on training supplies, refreshments, staff hours, driver time off-road, etc. that would be required for on-site training.

2. Reduce Accidents, Violations, & Insurance Costs

The Infinit-I system is designed to create and inspire behavioral changes in your employees. Irregular, long meetings will not help inspire this change.

Providing frequent, consistent, ongoing training through the year will help keep these important topics top of mind for your drivers and other employees. The system provides training in short videos that make it easier for users to comprehend and remember the information.

With this consistent training, you will start to see a difference in driver behavior leading to reduced accident, incidents, and violations, which will trickle down to mitigating rising insurance costs.

3. Protect Against Costly Litigation

When something goes wrong on the road, proper documentation is your best defense in court. You don’t want to waste time digging through piles of paperwork, hoping you have all the documentation you need.

Using the Infinit-I system will help you feel confident you’ve done everything you can to prevent accidents and incidents. The automatic reporting and documentation features allow you to prove this.

Remember, if it’s not written, signed, and dated, it didn’t happen.

All our training modules are automatically documented once drivers complete it, and the training documentation is admissible in court. Our clients have already found this automatic documentation useful in court cases as it allowed them to prove due diligence.

The documentation is downloadable, printable, and at your fingertips when you need it.

4. Develop a Culture of Safety

Our system works with drivers’ lifestyles by providing the training you need while giving them the convenience to access it whenever is best for them. Drivers can access training on any device with an internet connection and complete short, relevant, memorable videos.

These videos are effective for teaching new behaviors, but they also encourage drivers to dig into their own skills and understanding for continued improvements. With the Infinit-I system, you can give 100% of your drivers access to the training they need.

Online training shows your dedication to recruiting and retaining highly skilled professional drivers, and helps you create and improve the skills your company needs. With Infinit-I, you’re not just fixing problems, you’re building a culture of safety.

5. Create a Comprehensive Training Program

The transportation industry is ever-changing. Infinit-I provide 850+ videos with expert information, and the videos are updated regularly. The training covers hundreds of topics and we stay informed on changes to quickly provide new training on FMCSA, DOT, and regional regulations as they come up.

We can also help you implement custom content to deal with issues specific to your company. We help you keep your drivers ahead of the curve- not just trying to keep up.

6. Customize Training and Messaging

If drivers provide input and feel ignored, they are less likely to stick around. Good communication within your company reduces turnover and saves you on hiring costs or dealing with a job not done well.

With Infinit-I, you can create custom training and messaging that speaks directly to your drivers. You can generate content that speaks directly to questions or concerns that arise. With immediate access to this content, drivers will see that you hear their input, and will feel like they have a say in your company goals.
