Respect and Support: Treat Drivers Like They’re Part of the Team and Create a Career Path

Details
Category: Fleet Speak

 Respect, support and feeling like their part of a team start with how you set expectations. Every driver and driver manager should sign a job expectations document that clearly defines the performance requirements and duties of the job for both sides.

This document shows a driver how you plan to support him or her to achieve their job duties. It shows them that you’re on the team together to hit your goals.

When drivers hit their goals, clearly define the reward: Bonus, pay increase, safety incentives, ability to become a trainer, sit on the driver’s council, etc. A driver needs a dispatcher and a dispatcher needs a driver. Treating a driver as an equal and being part of the team is what they mean when they look for respect. Defining your expectations and showing the career path for hitting the goals provides you a productive driver who’s motivated to get the job done properly.
