Unleashing Operations Performance This article discusses how to build a high performance fleet manager system. This is important to the success of today's carrier because the fleet manager is the primary link to driver performance in any trucking organization. Fleet manager performance has a direct impact on crucial business result areas, such as miles driven per unit, driver turnover, accident involvement, fuel cost, etc.
Tracking 1st Year Turnover The number of new hires who stay with a carrier for over one year is a major key to controlling turnover. Carriers with low turnover typically retain for a year or more at a rate better than one out of every three new drivers hired.

This tip sheet provides a useful tool to track driver turnover and an early warning system to predict future turnover.
