Coach a Driver on Idling Events

Coaches can send idling events to Coaching directly from the Idling Report in the Samsara dashboard. Coaches can then view a summary of all behaviors that require coaching during each Coaching Session and assign a coaching status as part of the Driver Coaching Workflow. For each session, you can drill down into each behavior and view any events related to the behavior.

At the end of the coaching session, Samsara generates a coaching Session Summary which highlights the behaviors coached.

Use the following workflow to review an HOS violation behavior and coach a driver:

1. Navigate to Safety () > Coaching > Upcoming.

2. Locate the driver from the list. Hover over the driver row and select Coach.

   

3. If there are multiple behavior types to coach, you can coach on all behaviors or select Idling under the Efficiency section.

4. Review idling event details.

   Each event displays the following information:

   • Idling duration

   • Estimated fuel cost and usage

   • Air temperature at the time of the event

   • A trip map displaying where the idling event occurred

5. For more insight, select View Details to open the Idling Summary.

   You can drill down into each individual event for more insight.

6. If the event does not need any additional investigation or coaching, you can select the more actions ( ••• ) menu > Remove from Coaching.

   

7. To complete the coaching session and view the Session Summary, Mark behavior as coached and then confirm as Complete.

8. The coached event moves from the Coaching Upcoming report to the Completed Coaching Sessions report.
