Case Study: Superior Plus Propane achieves extended visibility to reduce backup incidents and false property‑damage claims with Samsara Camera Connector

Superior Plus Propane plans to use their existing cameras for extended visibility with the Samsara Camera Connector

Superior Plus Propane, a propane delivery fleet with 2,300 trucks and 1,000+ drivers, frequently faces backup incidents and property damage claims as drivers reverse large bobtail trucks into narrow residential driveways. Although about 750 vehicles already had third‑party backup cameras, footage wasn’t accessible to the safety team for coaching or investigations, and ongoing growth through acquisitions left them with many differing camera systems that are costly and time‑consuming to rip and replace.

By adding Samsara AI Dash Cams and the Samsara Camera Connector, Superior can leverage existing cameras to view backup footage in the Samsara dashboard and coach drivers more effectively; each Connector takes ~20 minutes to install (vs 2+ hours to replace cameras) and is 6x faster overall. The solution—building on a prior 90% reduction in speeding—provides up to 70 hours of retrievable footage to investigate and refute false claims, is expected to significantly cut backup incidents, save hundreds of hours in installation time, and reduce related costs.
