Case Study: Sunstate Equipment achieves a 31% reduction in risky driving and $5.5M in savings with the Lytx Driver Safety Program

Sunstate reduces risk and increases efficiency with the Lytx Driver Safety Program

Sunstate Equipment Co., a nationwide construction equipment rental company with over 75 branches and a 1,000-vehicle fleet, made safety a core value and sought to reduce incidents driven by behaviors like late responses and close following. They needed a trusted vendor to help lower collision risk and control rising claims costs while supporting their safety-first culture.

Sunstate deployed the Lytx Driver Safety Program—using video evidence, data-driven coaching, and an incentive-based recognition program—to target high-risk drivers. The program helped cut risky driving (31% reduction year-over-year), brought Sunstate’s risk to about half the industry average, produced 110 exonerations since 2015 (saving an estimated $5.5M), lowered accidents and insurance exposure, and reinforced customer confidence.
