Best Logistics reports decreased claims with Netradyne software

Netradyne, a San Diego-based software as a service (SaaS) leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing focusing on driver and fleet safety, has announced that its customer, Best Logistics Group, has decreased its claims and improved its driver safety program during the past year since choosing Netradyne’s AI vision-based Driver•i safety camera platform.

Kernersville, North Carolina-based Best Logistics Group selected Netradyne’s Driver•i system for its fleet of 400 trucks for the proactive nature of the solution: real-time alerts, actionable data for improved safety and transparency for drivers.

Netradyne says it offers solutions specifically for the waste collection and construction industries in addition to those for trucking and logistics.

Audible in-cab alerts, including for drowsy and distracted driving, enable drivers to self-coach and make corrections in real-time, resulting in fewer incidents.

“When we turned on the audible alerts, we saw a decrease in events across the board,” Best Logistics Director of Safety and Training Programs Adam Beaver says. “The impact was huge.”

Driver•i’s GreenZone driver score and related DriverStar highlight good driving, helping Best Logistics’ managers connect with their drivers in a way that empowers, incentivizes and engages them. 

“I knew we had good drivers, but having these positive moments pulled into a separate category and being able to show that data to them is the number one thing I use for successful driver coaching,” Beaver says. “It makes coaching easier. Our drivers have received it well and continue to try to improve. It’s about making them want to be better drivers, which aligns with our company goals.”

Another benefit Best Logistics has realized from the camera system and high-definition video clarity is the ability to defend their drivers effectively, says Beaver.

“In one recent hit-and-run incident, our driver called me as soon as it happened, and I was able to show the video of the incident to the driver. I froze the video, identified the at-fault driver’s license plate, and sent it to our driver to present to the police officer on the scene. That was a slam dunk. Now we can defend our drivers with a high degree of success.”

Heather Engen, vice president of customer success at Netradyne, says Best Logistics treats its employees with “respect, trust, fairness and loyalty.

“We are proud to partner with Best Logistics Group to provide technology that elevates the safety and protection of their drivers and assets and helps them uphold their company code of conduct.”
