Training & coaching
Delivered by text message, no app to download. Attendance recorded. And the loop that turns a telematics event into a defense exhibit.
One flagged event, one automatic micro-lesson by text, one dated coaching-file entry. A documented harsh-braking history with no documented response reads as negligent supervision in court. Closing the loop turns that same data into proof the carrier acted.

Severity 8/10 near I-94 MM 82. Received by webhook from the telematics provider (Northline Telematics) on its safety-event feed, which is separate from the ELD hours-of-service logs.
