Case Study: Decker Truck Line achieves faster safety improvements and driver exonerations with Omnitracs SmartDrive

Why Decker Truck Line was Ready for a Video-Based Safety Program

Decker Truck Line, a family-owned commercial fleet founded in 1931, operates 800 flatbed and refrigerated trucks and prioritizes driver safety and customer service. Facing rising exposure on challenging routes, leadership sought a video-based safety solution to protect drivers, document incidents and reduce liability; driver surveys and a Driver Council overwhelmingly supported adopting the technology.

Decker chose SmartDrive and, after vetting existing customers, skipped a pilot to roll the system out fleetwide with hands-on implementation support. The fully managed program—where SmartDrive analysts review and prioritize recorded events—delivered faster safety improvements, driver exonerations, smoother onboarding, and meaningful cost savings, with early adopter drivers becoming program advocates.
