INFINITI Fleet Safety Training’s new Live Training feature is designed to make every Safety Meeting more engaging, consistent, and easier to document. Fleets can host live video meetings, interact with drivers and employees, share content, and track participation directly through the INFINITI platform. Each Safety Meeting can include quizzes, attendance records, recordings, and follow-up assignments for employees who were unable to attend live. The feature also helps companies deliver the same message across multiple locations while reducing paperwork and improving accountability. With Live Training, fleets can turn live conversations into documented training that continues to provide value after the meeting ends.
INFINITI’s LMS eLearning translation feature helps multilingual fleets navigate safety training with greater clarity.

Video audio remains in English, with subtitle options available during playback. The feature supports more efficient training assignments, ongoing reinforcement, and clearer communication around safety topics. Within the INFINITI platform, fleets can assign, track, verify, coach, and document training activity in one organized process.
This month, INFINITI Fleet Safety Training added eight new and updated training videos covering school bus and trucking safety. Two school bus videos address highway driving challenges and the risks of driver fatigue. Six trucking videos focus on loading docks, PPE, traffic control, driver wellness, and vehicle dashboard systems. These courses are designed to help drivers and dock workers improve safety, awareness, and day-to-day decision-making. The latest content gives fleets and schools practical training they can use to keep employees informed, prepared, and safer on the job.

Amber Tankersley, Chuck Price, and Caleb walk through how the platform helps organize assignments, control training order, and keep employees on track based on roles, progress, and requirements.

This Training Mastery Series session shows how better training structure can lead to safer drivers, stronger fleets, and a more proactive safety culture.
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.
Work zone safety remains a critical concern as construction crews work tirelessly to maintain and improve our nation’s infrastructure. The National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of cautious driving through these areas. Through collaborative efforts between departments of transportation, safety organizations, and training providers, significant strides are being made to protect both workers and drivers. By raising awareness and promoting proper training, these initiatives aim to reduce accidents and save lives in work zones across America.
If your fleet still relies on urine testing alone, you could be missing hidden risks behind the wheel. A trucking drug test using hair analysis detects drug use up to 90 days back, making it far more reliable. Studies show hair testing uncovers drug use 10 times more often than urine tests. Forward-thinking fleets are adopting this approach to improve safety, lower CSA scores, and protect their reputation. Learn how upgrading your trucking drug test program can reduce accidents, lower insurance costs, and strengthen compliance across your operation.
