INFINITI Fleet Safety Training Integrates With Samsara and Motive

Fleet technology can reveal risky driving behaviors, but the real value comes from turning that data into action. INFINITI Fleet Safety Training can integrate with Samsara and Motive to help automate user updates, group synchronization, driver notifications, and event-based training assignments. When selected safety events meet a fleet’s rules, relevant training can be assigned automatically. This creates a more direct connection between driver performance and corrective action. Fleets gain a faster, more organized way to deliver, track, and document safety training.

Is there a truck driver shortage?

The question “Is there a truck driver shortage?” has a more complicated answer than simple hiring numbers suggest. The industry is facing a shortage of qualified, compliant, experienced, and retainable drivers, not just a lack of CDL holders. High turnover, retirements, difficult working conditions, medical disqualifications, drug violations, and stricter enforcement are shrinking the available driver pool. Fleets can respond by improving pay structures, home time, onboarding, compliance education, driver health, and career growth opportunities. Long-term success depends on retaining good drivers, reducing preventable disqualifications, and building a stronger safety-first culture.
