The DriveCam difference
Paper Transport, Inc. operates a little more than 500 trucks and is highly committed to safety. Drivers were hesitant when the DriveCam® safety program was first implemented, but now that perception has changed, especially after the DriveCam program exonerated drivers in some collisions.
Just as a manufacturing company would coach workers if they saw them using machinery dangerously, Paper Transport wanted to coach risky driving behaviors in the same manner.
Over time, drivers initiated coaching, and appreciated that model behavior was shared with the wider team.
The company experienced dramatic decreases in collision costs per mile, as well as event frequency and severity. More importantly, drivers are today safer from injuries and have improved their overall wellness.
