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 in-cab coaching doesn't just assess performance - they identify the habits quietly draining your fleet budget.
Conservative estimates show a 3% fuel saving from in-cab coaching alone. The calculator below shows exactly what that means for your operation.
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 evaluation with structured theory and a nationally recognised NZTA certificate.
