Con-way Freight Launches In-Cab Monitor, Sense Alert System

Con-way Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), has now fully deployed Drive Safe Systems™, a suite of advanced on-board “monitor, sense and alert” technologies, which, coupled with continuous, peer-based driver training and coaching, are designed to enhance overall safety performance and operating efficiency of the company’s 15,000 professional drivers operating its 8,600-truck fleet.

Here’s how it works.

Drive Safe Systems™ incorporates five in-cab technologies that alert drivers to potential safety risks and help them respond, improve situational awareness, provide feedback to refine safe-driving skills and defensive-driving techniques, and maximize safe, fuel-efficient operations.

“Drive Safe Systems is first and foremost about supporting our drivers in the safe operation of our fleet and equipping them with tools to continuously learn and improve,” said Tom Clark, the company’s senior vice president of operations.

These technologies provide real-time feedback and coaching to help drivers recognize and correct unsafe behaviors, with the goal of reducing accidents and near-misses.
