DriveShieldTM

DriveShield is FTS's automated driver coaching app. When FleetCam or the vehicle sensors detect an unsafe event — harsh braking, speeding, distraction — DriveShield automatically triggers a coaching workflow: the driver gets a notification, reviews the video clip, and completes a brief coaching module. No manager has to initiate every conversation; the system handles it at scale.

Yes. Every driver gets a personal scorecard updated continuously, tracking harsh braking, acceleration, cornering, speeding, idling, ADAS events (forward collision, lane departure, tailgating), and DMS events (distraction, drowsiness, phone use). Scores are visible to both drivers and managers. Drivers who see their own numbers — especially compared to team benchmarks — tend to self-correct faster than those who only hear about problems in a review meeting.

Drivers can flag events for dispute directly in the DriveShield app. Disputed events go to a supervisor for review with the associated video. This self-dispute process builds trust — drivers feel heard rather than penalized, and it dramatically reduces pushback on the coaching program overall.

The fleets that see the best adoption frame DriveShield as protection, not surveillance. Show drivers how video exonerates them when they're not at fault. Show them how fair route assignments and clear expectations reduce their stress. Drivers who understand the 'why' become the strongest advocates. FTS can walk you through proven rollout frameworks.

Many fleets see meaningful ROI from driver coaching programs through fewer preventable incidents, lower claims exposure, better coaching consistency, and less manager time spent chasing drivers one by one. Industry benchmarks for video telematics and coaching programs commonly show roughly 25% to 30% fewer crashes, and in some deployments 50%+ reductions in unsafe driving events after rollout. Results vary based on fleet culture, baseline risk, coaching follow-through, and how broadly the program is adopted, but the typical value story is straightforward: fewer incidents, fewer claims, and a more consistent safety process.

Yes — DriveShield is built on top of FleetCam video events. When a camera detects distraction or a sensor flags harsh braking, the clip is automatically attached to the coaching workflow. Drivers watch exactly what triggered the event, which makes coaching concrete and hard to argue with.

Yes — DriveShield scales from 3 drivers to nearly unlimited. Automated coaching workflows trigger without manager intervention, escalating only when needed. Whether you have a 10-driver operation or thousands on the road, it's the difference between a safety program that runs itself and one that requires a full-time staff member per 100 drivers.
