Case Study: Fames Transport achieves improved safety and operational efficiency with Samsara

United States Postal Service mail contractor improves safety and operational efficiency of its 60 vehicle fleet using Samsara’s complete fleet platform

Fames Transport is a family-owned USPS mail contractor operating 60 semi-trucks across 20 regions in the western U.S. Facing a clunky GPS system, paper timecards, and safety and reporting gaps that risked contracts and wasted admin time, the company needed a modern, all-in-one fleet solution to improve safety, accuracy, and operational efficiency.

Fames deployed Samsara’s platform—VG34 gateways for second-by-second live tracking and CM11 dashcams—plus automated electronic timecards. The changes brought faster, more accurate location data and video evidence for incidents, a jump in driver safety scores (one driver rose from 79 to 97; company-wide safety improved about 18%), roughly $4,000 in daily payroll savings from reduced timecard errors, and leaner administrative workflows.
