Safety behind the wheel should be a priority for every driver. However, bus drivers face unique challenges due to the size and nature of their vehicles and the responsibility of transporting numerous passengers. This makes safe driving an even greater responsibility for them.

The more time drivers spend behind the wheel, the higher the likelihood of a crash. As roads become busier and drivers accumulate more miles, it becomes increasingly important to know how to avoid accidents and adapt to changing environments.

GPS navigation is essential for most fleets, helping drivers efficiently travel from Point A to Point B and ensuring on-time deliveries. However, in larger fleets with multiple vehicles, GPS alone doesn't provide fleet managers with a complete picture of driver locations and activities.

The official kick-off to summer begins with Memorial Day Weekend with Independence Day following shortly behind. Many people hit the road to visit family and friends or simply to take a few days off to relax. This time of year also kicks off a busy season for drivers on the roads. With more vehicles on the road, what can drivers do to remain safe during holiday weekends?

A close call while driving can be the result of human error, equipment failure, weather conditions, or a sudden accidental occurrence. No matter what happens to create a sudden driving hazard, the result is the same: you need to quickly maneuver your vehicle away from the hazard to avoid a collision.
