Together for Safer Roads (TSR) has partnered with Samsara to support the publication of Samsara’s new e-book aimed at enhancing safety and performance for operators and drivers within commercial fleets. The publication is a free download available on Samsara’s website.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with TSR and industry leaders in creating this essential resource for the industry," said Ingo Wiegand, vice president of product, safety at Samsara. "By combining our expertise in AI-based safety solutions with TSR's commitment to road safety, we believe this e-book will make a significant impact in promoting safer roads and improving driver performance."

TSR said the 27-page e-book, "Driver Coaching: Best Practices & Frameworks for Success," is designed to empower safety managers, directors, and coaches of commercial drivers with practical advice and industry best practices.

It offers insights from seasoned experts, examples from successful organizations, and actionable strategies to improve driver safety and efficiency.

"Driver safety and efficiency is often top of mind for fleet and safety leaders – but practical advice on how to implement and improve a proactive driver coaching program can be hard to find," said Peter Goldwasser, executive director of Together for Safer Roads. "That’s why we worked with Samsara to help them develop 'Driver Coaching: Best Practices & Frameworks for Success.'”
