What a Difference a Week Makes
To say these are challenging times is a staggering understatement. Every day brings new revelations and fresh opportunities to cause panicky feelings. We know we will get through this, but the pandemic is taking its toll on all of us.
Just last week, NAFA announced that the 2020 Institute & Expo would be held in April as planned, but due to the rapid escalation of the coronavirus I&E has been rescheduled. The conference will now take place in beautiful Indianapolis on September 18-20. Kudos to NAFA’s leadership team who will be working diligently to put all the pieces together, not a small challenge but they will succeed. We look forward to celebrating our industry with great joy in September.
NAFA kindly gave us permission to reprint their up-to-the-minute article: Preparing for Natural Disasters in Uncertain Times. It is a must read for fleet professionals who are on the front line.
Drive safety and keep well!

The Paradox of Driver Assist Technology
Driver Assist technology is pretty amazing, but it only works if drivers know how to use it properly and safely.
eDriving Partners with Smith System to Provide Behind-the-Wheel Training Program
eDriving Release
eDrivingSM has announced a partnership with Smith System to provide behind-the-wheel training for Pharmaceutical Sales Group (PSG) clients.
The Smith System advanced classroom and behind-the-wheel training program teaches safe driving practices using The Smith5Keys®, a method proven to reduce risks on the road. Each driver learns through a series of behind-the-wheel experiences and by observing an instructor-narrated drive that demonstrates unique techniques to navigate through traffic. Experiencing real-world traffic scenarios, drivers are better able to replicate these skills while on the job.
As a result of the new partnership, eDriving’s PSG clients benefit from a special pricing plan, and have the ability to exchange seats in the course with other eDriving PSG clients to minimize cancellation fees. Class completions can be recorded, together with eLearning and FICO® Safe Driving Scores, in clients’ Virtual Risk Manager (VRM) programs. Clients also have the ability to open additional classes based on student location, including remote areas.
