Case Study: Cypress Truck Lines reduces collisions and boosts safety scores with Omnitracs SmartDrive

Why Cypress was Ready for a Video-Based Safety Program

Cypress Truck Lines is a family-owned flatbed carrier based in Jacksonville, FL, operating 500+ power units nationwide. Management wanted better visibility into driving behavior to reduce collision costs, lower claims, and ensure drivers could be exonerated when not at fault.

Cypress implemented the SmartDrive video-based safety program (dual forward- and driver-facing cameras) plus real-time analytics and a coaching program. Within weeks their safety score improved 57% (58% less speeding, 48% less distracted driving), and over three years they achieved an 80% overall safety improvement, eliminated instances of exceeding fleet speed, reduced collision costs, exonerated drivers, and rolled out score-based coaching and bonus incentives for drivers.
