Case Study: Smith Trucking achieves lower incident costs and greater driver accountability with DriveCam powered by Lytx

Smith Trucking - Customer Case Study

Smith Trucking, Inc., a family-owned long-haul refrigerated carrier founded in 1946, operates about 100 Class 8 tractors and serves 250+ customers across 48 states. Concerned with typical OTR risks—fatigue, night driving, distraction—and the cost and uncertainty of incident claims, the company needed a way to know exactly what happened in collisions to protect drivers and reduce legal and repair expenses.

Smith deployed DriveCam powered by Lytx video event recorders, using exception-based 12-second event footage to coach drivers and document incidents. The system helped the company recoup $10,000 from a large retailer, quickly resolve other claims, reinforce seatbelt use, and increase driver accountability—lowering collision-related costs and improving overall safety.
