Fleet driver training is training given to commercial drivers by their respective businesses to make them capable personnel of their roles. It aims to equip them with the skills and knowledge that are required for performing their duties correctly. This training consists of a wide range of topics which involve defensive driving, managing to obey the regulatory requirement, and taking preventive actions against unforeseen situations.

Ultimately, the most essential aim for fleet driver training is to improve road safety through decreased accident rates. If drivers are equipped with the proper practices and safest habits through training, it will mitigate the occurrence of incidents, saving fleets costs in insurance and vehicle repairs, and safeguarding drivers from non-compliance violations associated with hours-of-service (HOS) rule accuracy.

Good training makes drivers more efficient because they tend to follow the best practices for driving and operating a vehicle most effectively, such as route efficiency and fuel-saving habits. Importantly, it also improves employee retention because training shows employees that you value career development.
