Hub Group Deploys Video-based Safety Platform Across Fleet
Hub Group, one of the largest multi-modal solutions providers in North America, has adopted a video-based video-based safety platform to improve overall fleet safety.
The scale is potentially huge. As a leading multi-modal solutions provider, Hub Group counts on company assets and owner operators within its growing fleet of more than 2,600 tractors. The company has developed a reputation for its focus on safety as well as investing in the technology to complement overall operational goals.
“Our priority is to make sure all our drivers get home safely to their families every night and introducing video-based safety technology is the logical next phase of our safety evolution,” stated Jason Letchford, Senior Director, Fleet Technology of Hub Group.
After piloting two video-based safety solutions, Hub Group ultimatey selected the SmartDrive platform. The approach is known for an intuitive user interface and robust safety tools, as well as ongoing support.
Hub Group noted that extended recording ensures even low or no-impact driving events are still captured and can be analyzed and made available to fleet managers. On the back-end, the operations team appreciated the depth of data and reference points available, as well as the overall look and feel of the interface.
According to Steve Mitgang, CEO of SmartDrive, “With a concerted effort to meaningfully reduce risk, Hub Group is among a growing number of safety-minded fleets implementing the SmartDrive system to capture exactly what happens out on the road in the case of a collision or other incident.”
