The Coaching Process
What happens in the cab
01
Pre-drive check
Our trainer meets you at your site and rides along from the start. We begin with a vehicle safety and compliance walk-around to establish baseline habits before a wheel turns.
02
On-road coaching
Our trainer coaches on speed management, braking, cornering, and hazard response, with a particular focus on observation, anticipation, and planning, as well as the driver's use of in-cab technology.
03
Real-time feedback
This is where the fuel savings happen. Feedback is given in the cab, in the moment - correcting habits as they occur, not in a debrief room days later.
04
Written report
The session doesn't end when the cab door closes. Every driver receives a written report with specific findings and actionable recommendations - giving drivers and fleet managers a clear record.
Fuel Saving In-cab Coaching
We help heavy vehicle operators reduce their fuel costs.
Calculate your possible fuel savings in seconds.
Our trainers ride along with your drivers and coach them in real time — practical, on-the-job guidance that builds better habits and reduces fuel spend. See what a 3% saving adds up to with the calculator below.
The Proof Behind The Numbers
Why we use 3%
not the full figure
Our savings calculator applies a conservative 3% fuel saving - deliberately understated. It's the kind of number a cautious finance team would accept without argument.
The reality is that structured driver training consistently delivers more. SAFED NZ - New Zealand's government-backed safe and fuel-efficient driving programme - has trained over 2,000 NZ drivers since 2010, with independently verified results well above our 3% baseline. For operators who want to go further, TR Driver Training is a registered SAFED NZ provider. A full SAFED course builds on the foundations of an in-cab coaching with structured theory and a nationally recognised NZTA certificate.
