Case Study: Bulkmatic Transport achieves major safety improvements and fuel savings with Omnitracs SmartDrive

Why Bulkmatic Transport was Ready for a Video-Based Solution

Bulkmatic Transport is one of the largest and most trusted dry-bulk carriers in the U.S., operating 500+ vehicles and known for a strong safety culture and industry awards. After experiencing an uptick in collisions, the company sought a video-based safety solution to better understand incidents, reduce risky driving behaviors, and reinforce its safety standards.

Bulkmatic piloted the SmartDrive video and data system and within 60 days saw up to an 87% improvement in driving skills at the Decatur site and sustained fuel savings of 3.03%. The program — expanded to Chicago and Ft. Worth and then the entire fleet — cut distracted driving, enabled driver exonerations through dual-facing cameras, streamlined coaching, improved compliance with customer safety requirements, and helped secure contract renewals.
