Case Study: Davis Transfer Company achieves 43% safety-score improvement with SmartDrive Systems

Davis Transfer Company - Customer Case Study

Davis Transfer Company, a dry truckload carrier serving the Southeastern U.S. with a fleet of 250+ tractors, sought better visibility into on-road and in-cab behavior to strengthen safety, driver retention, and customer satisfaction. Although the company had invested in mobile fleet management and trailer tracking, management needed a video-based solution to complement existing safety initiatives and provide clearer data for decision-making.

Davis Transfer deployed the SmartDrive video-based safety program fleetwide and quickly saw measurable improvements: a 73% reduction in handheld mobile device use, 66% increase in seatbelt compliance, and a 43% improvement in overall safety score, along with a 67% drop in stopping-related observations and 19% reduction in unsafe following. By combining video, vehicle and audio data with expert review and prioritized coaching, SmartDrive gave managers actionable insights that improved driver coaching, saved time, and supported better operational and customer outcomes.
