Case Study: Cox Petroleum Transport reduces at-fault collisions by 80% with Lytx DriveCam

Cox Petroleum Transport reduces at-fault collisions by 80% with Lytx

Cox Petroleum Transport, a Bakersfield‑based third‑party carrier with more than 100 tanker trucks serving major oil companies across the western U.S., was seeing driver incidents rise year over year. Operating 24/7 and making tight, precision deliveries, the fleet faced challenges from driver fatigue and increasingly difficult road conditions that threatened safety and retention.

Cox implemented the Lytx DriveCam program across its entire fleet as both a training and event‑recording tool. The result: at‑fault collisions fell 80% (from 26 to 5 in one year) and later to just two in roughly 14 million miles, drivers were exonerated in disputed incidents, management saved time with custom reports, and the company earned fleet safety awards while improving driver retention.
