Stress is quietly draining performance across U.S. fleets and can have a significant effect on highway safety. Geotab research shows 68% of commercial drivers say work-related stress impacts how they operate. That can lead to mistakes on the road, higher turnover, and rising costs on everything from insurance and maintenance to fuel.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- See insightful safety metrics from Geotab’s road safety survey and learn what it means for your fleet
- Discover how stress impacts safety, cost, and driver retention, backed by fleet-level insights
- Hear first-hand from a professional driver what safety looks like on the road today
- Learn how top fleets are using technology to build safer, more resilient operations and why prioritizing driver wellbeing pays off
- Uncover safety best practices from industry professionals
- Gain actionable strategies to reduce risk using telematics, AI, and fleet data
