Start orientation before terminal day.
Prepare new drivers before they travel, so your team knows who is ready and can use terminal time for road tests, equipment, and hands-on work.
Orientation — Mon, Jul 20
Springfield terminal
The problem
Orientation should not start from zero
When a new driver arrives unprepared, the whole day slows down. Your safety team repeats basic policies, rearranges the schedule, and tries to work out what the driver has already seen.
For a small or midsize fleet, that lost time adds up quickly. A simple view of who is ready lets your team plan the day, follow up earlier, and spend in-person time on the work that must happen at the terminal.
What that costs you
- Terminal time lost to material that could be covered earlier
- Late surprises when a driver has not finished
- Extra calls, emails, and spreadsheet checks
- No shared answer to who is ready for orientation day
How it works
From approved hire to a more useful orientation day
Raisedash moves the repeatable parts of orientation earlier and gives your team a clear view before the driver arrives.
- 1
Prepare one clear orientation
Organize the policy material, videos, and knowledge checks every approved new hire should complete.
- 2
Start before terminal day
Assign orientation as soon as the hire is approved, then send a direct link by text or email.
- 3
See who needs attention
Follow progress before arrival so your team can help the drivers who are behind instead of chasing everyone.
- 4
Use terminal time where it matters
Walk into orientation knowing what is complete, then focus on road tests, equipment, and hands-on work.
What supports it
Simple for drivers. Clear for your team.
Reach drivers directly
Send each approved new hire a clear orientation invite by text or email.
Make it easy to begin
Drivers open orientation in their phone browser, with no app to download.
Know who is ready
See who has not started, who is working, and who finished before arrival.
Keep your orientation consistent
Give every new hire the same videos, policy material, and checks for understanding.
Let drivers finish in stages
Progress saves, so drivers can stop and return without starting over.
Remove password trouble
A one-time code gets drivers in without another password to create or remember.
Handle one hire or a class
Prepare one driver or a group of incoming drivers from the same place.
Keep the training record
Keep assignments, results, dates, activity, and certificates together for each driver.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Do drivers need to download an app?
No. Training opens in the phone's web browser. Drivers sign in with a one-time code instead of creating a password.
Can we invite drivers by text?
Yes. You can send an invite by SMS or email, depending on the contact information you have for the driver.
Where does the training content come from?
Bring the videos and policy text your fleet already uses. You can organize that material into phone-friendly lessons and quizzes in Raisedash.
How do we know a driver is ready for terminal day?
Your team can see what was assigned, what is still in progress, what was completed, and the driver's quiz results. You decide what must be finished before the driver arrives.
Does this replace hands-on orientation at the terminal?
No. Use it for the parts of orientation that work well as video, reading, and quizzes. Road tests, equipment checks, and other hands-on work still happen through your normal process.
