Retention, safety technology adoption, and day-to-day support all come down to understanding what drivers actually experience on the road. For Samsara’s Driver Appreciation Month, we’re creating a space for that perspective to take center stage.

Watch our a candid conversation with professional drivers from Trican, Whitewater Management, and Caron Transportation. They'll share what life behind the wheel is really like, how technology has changed their work, and what genuinely makes them feel supported. For fleet and safety managers, it's a direct line to the perspective that shapes every retention and safety program.

In this session, drivers discuss:

• Safety technology, from the driver's seat: Perspectives on dash cams and driver apps, from first impressions to real-world impact, giving you a clearer picture of what actually engages drivers

• Technology rollouts and adoption: Successful approaches to introducing new technology across driver teams, what earned their buy-in, and what actually stuck

• What driver appreciation really looks like: Practical ways drivers want to feel valued and celebrated, and how those insights translate into stronger retention programs

Walk away with a firsthand view of what your drivers experience, and practical ways to apply it to how you support and retain your team.
