(formerly DriveCam Inc.), a global provider of delivering video-based driver safety and compliance systems, announced that Long Haul Trucking, Inc. has deployed its DC Protect program, part of the DriveCam powered by Lytx family of products.
The Minnesota-based company trialed the program for several months and took advantage of Lytx’s combination of video, predictive analytics, real-time driver feedback and coaching. According to Lytx’s measured results by the end of the trial, the company’s improvement in driving performance resulted in 92 percent of the drivers experiencing no coachable – or unsafe — events, leading to the decision to deploy fleet-wide.
“Our mission to help our drivers be the best they can be was accomplished through the DriveCam program. The interesting part about the trial was that we selected our newest most inexperienced drivers to participate, and the results were still remarkable,” said John Daniels, CEO of Long Haul Trucking.
“Prior to the DriveCam Program, you could sense when someone was a safe driver, but you couldn’t actually prove it like you can with a video-based system like DriveCam,” added Sue Brown, safety director for Long Haul Trucking. “Now we have tangible evidence and can coach,
reward, and promote accordingly. Our compliance ratings have gone up as well, as incidents of seatbelt infractions disappeared almost immediately after the trial began.”
In addition to deploying the DriveCam Program, the Long Haul Trucking team has wrapped one of their tractor-trailers with Lytx’s logos and promotional messaging. The 53-foot long trailer is crossing the country not only promoting the DriveCam Program, but calling attention to trucking safety for drivers and everyone on our roads.
