Every fleet has that one driver who was always telling him that he was not speeding. Then the GPS truck tracking apps information is an uninvited guest to the poker game, the cards are on the table, the truth is exposed. That is why it is the safest fleet ever: technology does not lie.

GPS tracking and AI monitoring has simplified the process of tracking the drivers and ensuring they abide by the rules. All the hard stops, sharp turns, and late night detachments are documented. It is not spying, it is a matter of security. There is no way you can fix what you do not see and that is what these technologies are watching and hear everything even what a driver feels is not being reported.

Suppose that a car is driving along a wet road. The AI system can detect when you have heavy braking and immediately warns you. It could just be traffic. It could be unsafe activity. You are either warned about something small before it turns out to be huge. That is preventing it prior to its occurrence.

Tasks that took hours to be completed in paperwork and phone calls with the boss are now automated. Reporting is assembling reports. The violations are presented not as furious reprimands, but as pleasant reminders. It is data-driven, not speculative, coaching. And weirdly enough, it is liked by the majority of drivers. They will also have evidence that they are good habitually and they will no longer need to be involved with receiving blame in terms of false late coming in or imaginary fuel burning.

Certain systems can even detect when a person is fatigued and identify his or her face. Too long a glance out of the road? The AI sends out an alert. Such a small push may save lives. Having another pair of eyes in the taxi and never closing.

In the long run though, compliance improves since it is not hard to put people to task. It is not founded on fear but on feedback. Drivers begin competing on who is capable of writing the best reports such as achieve high scores in a game that rewards with safety benefits.

And this is the best part, fleets with GPS and AI to pressure a watchful eye on things are not as prone to accidents, there are reduced insurance claims, and there is less stress. Trucks are not the only objects which technology is protecting. It keeps the occupants indoors safe. That is as far as you can invest in this area.
