“When we evaluated SmartDrive against other providers, the product, people and professionalism stood head and shoulders above the others. Beyond that, the in-depth reporting and key performance indicators give us the data we need to better coach our drivers and make them even safer each time they’re on the road. The SmartDrive program also allows us to recognize drivers for their professionalism in ways we haven’t been able to do previously.”
“We had a collision with one of our trucks and a pickup. The camera caught the pickup hit ting a guard rail and coming over the highway divider. That pickup driver tried to say our truck hit him. Once we reviewed the footage, it did show the pickup hit our truck. Police of ficers initially listed no fault, but once we showed them the video they faulted the pickup driver.”
“If you only have one camera, you’re missing 50 percent of the opportunities to protect your drivers. If there’s any question about what your driver was doing and whether he was distracted at the time of an incident, a plaintiff’s attorney is sure to zero in on this to your fleet’s detriment. With video, there’s no question as to whether your driver was doing what he needed to do.”
"With customer service being a huge part of my job, this service is invaluable."
“And at some locations it could take as long as 20 minutes for our trucks to exit the highway and make it to the inspection site only to be waved on when the Ag inspection officers determined we weren’t carrying any produce or other agriculture products.”
“If we’re a day late, we can face some pretty huge fines and penalties as it can significantly impact a construction project.”
“We recently called for a review on how we were using the system, and how we could use it more effectively.”
“When we were researching solutions, networking wasn’t a top item on our list.”
“Automatic indexing has saved Marten Transport the equivalent of two fulltime office positions.”
“When we were utilizing truck stop scanning, it required the drivers to get to a truck stop. Often a driver was not at a truck stop and very close to a payroll deadline. With In-Cab Scanning drivers can be anywhere in the country and still get that paperwork in.”
“I think it was a pretty easy installation and we get a lot of positive feedback from the drivers that the system is user-friendly and they like it.”
“The goal was to grow, and I was looking for a solution that would meet my needs three years from then rather than just get something that would get us started. I didn’t want to get locked into a platform I was unhappy with.”
"It's a win for drivers and a win for us."
"This proves to our customers that we are aware of the latest technology and we invest in it to provide better customer service."
“We use technology to see exactly what our drivers are doing – not to spy on them – but to be sure they’re following safety protocols to protect themselves and our fleet.”
