Case Study: Kimrad Transport achieves 42% safety improvement and 46% reduction in distracted driving with Omnitracs SmartDrive

Why Kimrad Transport was Ready for a Video-Based Safety Program

Kimrad Transport, founded in 2003 in Amarillo, Texas, is a regional tank-truck carrier that hauls liquid asphalt, crude oil and other petrochemicals. Faced with the need to reduce collisions, control claims costs, document incidents and embed a consistent safety culture as the company grew, Kimrad sought a video-based solution to capture on-road events and improve driver performance.

Kimrad implemented the SmartDrive video safety program, then expanded it across an acquired fleet after seeing measurable gains: a 42% improvement in safety score, 41% higher seatbelt compliance and a 46% reduction in texting. The system helped prevent collisions, exonerate drivers, accelerate claim payments and get vehicles back on the road sooner, while becoming a core part of driver development, recognition and onboarding.
