Driver training

Driver orientation: what the system monitors and why

A 20-minute briefing module covering what Samsara AI cameras detect, how coaching scores are calculated, what the Samsara Driver app shows drivers about their own performance, and how footage is used in incident investigations. Delivered by a Vidmatics trainer at installation time or in group sessions at your facility. Designed to be presented — not just distributed — to maximize retention and reduce pushback.

Samsara Driver app enrollment and navigation

Hands-on walkthrough of the Samsara Driver app: account setup, HOS logging (if applicable), reviewing your own coaching scores, and understanding safety event categories. Delivered individually at installation time or in small groups. Vidmatics tracks enrollment rates post-training and follows up with non-enrolled drivers on your behalf.

HOS and ELD log management for drivers

For fleets subject to the ELD mandate: driver training on logging on-duty and off-duty status, editing log entries with annotations, managing personal conveyance, handling HOS violations in the app, and what to do if the ELD reports a malfunction. Covers FMCSA inspection procedures and how to present a DOT data transfer at a roadside inspection.

Driver coaching conversation framework

A structured 15-minute coaching conversation guide for fleet managers and dispatchers, covering how to open a coaching discussion, how to present coaching score data without triggering defensiveness, how to set improvement targets collaboratively, and how to document the conversation for the driver file.

Administrator and dispatcher training

Samsara platform fundamentals for administrators

Half-day administrator training covering: user and role management, vehicle and driver record setup, alert configuration, report scheduling, and integration management. Covers both the web dashboard and mobile app administration views. Delivered by a Vidmatics trainer at deployment time with a follow-up session 30 days post-launch.

Fleet safety dashboard and coaching program management

How to use the Samsara safety dashboard to monitor fleet-wide coaching scores, identify high-risk driver segments, configure coaching workflows, and track improvement over time. Covers report customization, score filtering by vehicle type or operating region, and how to set up automated coaching score reports for safety managers.

Compliance module: HOS, DVIR, and driver qualification files

Training on Samsara's compliance features for operations teams: monitoring HOS violations in real time, managing DVIR submissions and repair tracking, maintaining driver qualification files within the platform, and generating compliance documentation packages for DOT audits.

Incident investigation workflow

Step-by-step training on using Samsara's video investigation tools: retrieving event-triggered footage, requesting manual video pulls, annotating and exporting footage for insurance or legal use, and understanding what footage is retained and for how long.

Leadership and ROI reporting

Executive dashboard orientation

A 90-minute session for fleet directors, VP of Operations, and CFOs covering: how to read the Samsara executive dashboard, how to translate safety scores and incident data into financial impact narratives, and how to structure a monthly fleet performance review using platform data.

Building the ROI case for fleet safety investment

A framework session for operations leaders covering how to calculate and present fleet safety ROI to finance stakeholders: quantifying insurance premium impact, avoided claim costs, coaching-driven behavior changes, and fuel efficiency gains from driver coaching programs. Vidmatics provides a customizable ROI model as part of this session.
