Most New Year’s resolutions are forgotten by February. But getting your fleet in shape doesn’t have to end here. We’ve created a shape-up plan that is easy to implement, actually sticks, and delivers the results you want. Here are some tips to help you build a stronger fleet operation in 2025. 

1. Strengthen your fleet’s safety muscle

Your drivers need backup on the road. Our AI Dash Cams catch risks before they become accidents and capture high-definition video of any issues your drivers face. With real-time alerts and AI that detects risks like drowsy driving and tailgating, your team will be safer than ever. And when incidents do happen, you’ve got instant video proof to protect your drivers and prove when they weren’t at fault. 

2. Build winning habits

Turn every safety incident into a teaching moment. Our technology spots areas for improvement, delivers custom training plans, and tracks progress until safer driving becomes second nature. By the end of the year, your team will have turned their risky habits into championship-level performance. 

Want to build a safety program that really works? Here's the playbook.

3. Trim fuel waste 

Every wasted drop adds up. Start by looking for your fleet’s fuel-draining patterns, from excessive idling during loading to aggressive acceleration between stops. Next, see how other fleet managers are reducing their fuel costs.

4. Routes that work harder

Delays happen. Traffic jams and road work pop up out of nowhere. You need to keep your deliveries moving no matter what. Real-time tracking helps you see these issues coming so you can get ahead of them. When surprise slowdowns inevitably come your way, your dispatchers need to be able to quickly redirect drivers to better routes. 

Find a better way to manage your routes this year. 

5. Motivate your MVPs

Great drivers deserve more than a pat on the back. Let’s make recognition part of your daily routine. When drivers hit safe driving streaks like staying under speed limits, they should know it. Track who is meeting their safety goals, identify the most improved players, and celebrate your safety champions. Nothing builds a culture of safety faster than catching your drivers doing things right. When the whole team sees what great driving looks like, those good habits will spread. 

See how positive recognition can help create a positive safety culture. 

6. Skip the complex installation routine

Our plug-and-play hardware gets you moving fast, so the sooner you start, the sooner you see results. No expertise needed, no time wasted.

7. Automate the heavy lifting

Let your drivers focus on driving. Turn tedious paperwork and complex forms into smart workflows that guide you through every step. Easily create digital forms like inspections, checklists, audits, and reports for any vehicle, asset, or site inspection. Then integrate the data into your systems in seconds.

Done with paperwork chaos? Here's your solution

Time to get your fleet in shape

The road to peak performance starts today, and it’s easier than you think. Start with one goal — whether it’s strengthening safety, cutting fuel costs, or streamlining routes. Like any good fitness plan, consistency beats perfection. Your fleet’s transformation starts with that first step.
