What PDA Offers

Retention programs built around your drivers' careers

Your drivers don't need the same thing on day one that they need in year five. PDA's programs provide proactive, individual attention that changes as your drivers' needs change and grow.

1

Driver Retention Program

Ongoing, proactive contact with your drivers throughout their tenure. A real PDA point of contact checks in, listens, and flags risk early — so a fixable frustration doesn’t turn into a resignation letter. Retention as a continuous relationship, not an annual survey.

Best for keeping the drivers you already recruited and cutting first-year churn.
2

Exit Interview Solutions

Structured, candid exit conversations conducted by PDA — not by the manager the driver may be leaving. Drivers speak more freely to a neutral party, so you get the real reasons behind departures and the patterns you can actually fix.

Best for understanding the true "why" behind turnover and where to focus first.
3

Onboarding & Early-Tenure Support

The first weeks decide whether a driver stays. PDA stays close during orientation and early tenure — the highest-risk window — to catch mismatched expectations, pay confusion, and home-time concerns before they cost you a driver.

Best for carriers losing new hires in the first 90 days.
4

Continuous Driver Feedback

A steady, managed channel for driver voice — so your leadership hears what’s working and what isn’t while there’s still time to respond. PDA collects, organizes, and delivers feedback you can act on.

Best for giving drivers a voice and leadership an early-warning system.
5

Workforce Visibility & Reporting

All driver feedback is managed by PDA and reported back to you in clear, decision-ready form. See sentiment, risk, and the reasons behind retention across your workforce — the data that turns a hunch into something you can prove and prioritize.

Best for leaders who want retention they can measure and act on.

The Whole Journey

We stay with your drivers the whole way

Retention risk shows up at predictable moments. PDA's attention follows the driver's journey — from the first orientation through the veteran years.

1

Orientation & first 90 days

The riskiest window. We confirm expectations match reality and catch early frustrations before they compound.

2

Settling in (months 3–12)

Pay, dispatch, home time, equipment — we keep a pulse on the everyday factors that quietly push drivers out.

3

Established drivers (year 1+)

Experienced drivers are your most valuable and most recruited. We keep them connected and heard.

4

Departure & exit

When a driver does leave, our exit interviews turn the loss into insight you can use to keep the next one.
