Leavitt’s Freight Service, a leading specialized flatbed carrier, has achieved significant results with the SmartDrive program in the first 12 months of full deployment.
Leavitt’s outfitted its fleet with both SmartDrive 360 and Extended Recording to identify and capture high-risk driving maneuvers and enable more effective coaching to improve safety and operational efficiency.
“We thought we knew what was going on out on the road, but we had no idea. SmartDrive opened our eyes to what was happening on the road. It’s not only changed the culture at Leavitt’s Freight Service, but it’s helped us set a record with our insurance loss ratio. It’s more than paid for itself," said Ron Riddle, CEO of Leavitt’s.
Work Truck paid Leavitt's Freight Service a visit to see first-hand how new safety tech benefited their operations and why their flatbed fleet is such a success. Check out a video that shares a little more about their operation and success with the SmartDrive system.
