A new driver coaching solution from eDriving was released for the company’s mobile app that is aimed to help managers effectively coach their most at-risk drivers and support the creation of a crash-free culture.
The company recently announced the availability of its Manager Coaching Toolkit within the Mentor smartphone app, according to the company. The Manager Coaching Toolkit operates within a highly secure, privacy-first environment, in which the only driver data shared with the manager is the data relevant to risk management; that is the FICO Safe Driving Score and driver events (harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, phone distraction and speeding). No location data or individual trip data is visible.

eDriving’s new smartphone-based Manager Coaching Toolkit includes the following easy-to-use coaching templates:
OneToOne: Designed to be conducted annually and suitable for all drivers or those identified as high-risk, a OneToOne session is designed to set expectations, promote accountability, and reinforce the employer’s safety objectives, as well as the manager’s desire to keep their drivers safe at all times.
Post-Collision Coaching: Designed for drivers involved in a crash, Post-Collision Coaching is designed to be used within 14 days of a reported event. This questionnaire helps managers lead a discussion with their driver to review what happened, why it happened, and most importantly, what the driver could do differently to make sure it never happens again. Managers can also use this process to recommend eLearning or other training to further reduce risk.
DriverINDEX Coach: Designed to help the manager and their high-risk drivers take a holistic approach using all of the driver on-road performance data available, privacy rules permitting, to guide the discussion. Using a 5-question, 15-minute format focusing on specific “at-risk” behaviors that need changing, DriverINDEX Coach sessions recur until the high-risk level has been reduced.
The Mentor smartphone app collects and analyzes driver behaviors most predictive of crash risk and helps remediate risky behavior by providing engaging, interactive micro-training modules delivered directly to the driver in the smartphone app.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
