Avoid alert fatigue (the #1 policy mistake)

If your inbox is full of minor alerts, real safety issues get ignored. The best programs use a tiered approach: real-time alerts only for critical safety, and weekly coaching summaries for everything else.

  • Realtime alerts: only the events that could cause a crash today.
  • Weekly coaching: patterns (speeding streaks, idling habits, harsh event clusters).
  • Recognition: reward improvement to keep buy-in.

Policy Threshold FAQ

How often should I change thresholds?

Not daily. Set thresholds, coach for 2–4 weeks, then adjust. Frequent changes confuse drivers and managers.

Should speeding be “over limit” or “absolute speed”?

Over-limit is best when you have posted speed limits. If not, use an absolute threshold (e.g., 80 mph) as a fallback.

What’s a good idling threshold?

Many fleets use 5–10 minutes. Tighten if you have strong capacity and you’re actively coaching.
