Case Study: Moore Food Distributors achieves $250,000+ in savings and rapid driver exoneration with Samsara

Moore Food Distributors - Customer Case Study

Moore Food Distributors, a St. Louis company delivering food to restaurants, hotels, schools, and churches, faced a major liability challenge in October 2017 when one of its trucks was struck at 65 mph, tipped over, passed through a guardrail and fell down an embankment. The company needed to quickly prove its driver was not at fault to protect staff and limit financial exposure.

Using Samsara’s all‑in‑one platform—14 vehicle gateways, dash cams, and environmental sensors with real‑time GPS—Moore Food automatically retrieved dash cam footage within five minutes and sent it to law enforcement and insurers, ultimately saving over $250,000. “The cameras were a godsend. It took the pressure off of our driver because it showed that he wasn’t responsible for the accident. It was good for the driver, and it was good for the company.” —Tom Townsend, Fleet Manager
