How Listening to Your Drivers Can Spark Real Change with Dr. Gina Anderson, Luma Brighter Learning

Are driver training programs helping - or just checking boxes?

In this episode, Chelsea Faulkner of HandledNow sits down with Dr. Gina Anderson, CEO of Luma Brighter Learning and a leading voice in cognitive science and adult education. With over a decade of experience in the trucking industry, Gina shares what she’s seen firsthand: information overload, disconnected training, and missed opportunities to build trust.

She discusses why traditional driver education is failing, how fleets can create more meaningful learning experiences, and what it takes to bridge the communication gap across generations and roles.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Why driver feedback is key to building trust

  • How learning science can improve safety and retention

  • The risks of AI when it replaces real understanding
