Case Study: Bulkmatic Transport achieves 50% reduction in DOT-recordable accidents and 87% improvement in driving skills with SmartDrive Systems

Bulkmatic Transport - Customer Case study

Bulkmatic Transport, a leading dry-bulk carrier with a fleet of 500+ trucks and a long-standing safety reputation, faced a recent uptick in collisions that threatened its performance and customer commitments. To address this, the company evaluated video-based safety technology to strengthen its coaching and incident review capabilities.

Bulkmatic deployed the SmartDrive dual-camera system and coaching platform across pilot sites and then fleet-wide, enabling rapid driver coaching, incident exonerations, and better compliance with customer safety standards. Within 60 days the program delivered measurable benefits—up to 87% improvement in driving skills, a 50% reduction in DOT-recordable accidents, about 3% sustained fuel savings, 90 exonerations—and led to strong driver buy-in and contract renewals.
