Case Study: Estes Services reduces collisions and claims with TRUCE Software

HVAC contractor takes back control by reversing collision increase

Estes Services, an Atlanta-based HVAC contractor with a fleet of 96 vehicles, was facing a sharp rise in collisions caused by distracted driving. The company also received negative feedback from other drivers and was at risk of losing its insurance coverage due to its accident record. To address these challenges, Estes turned to TRUCE Software and its mobile device safety solution, TRUCE, to help enforce its corporate driving and device-use policies.

TRUCE Software implemented TRUCE across Estes Services’ fleet and employee devices, using vehicle beacons to activate policy controls only when phones were in company vehicles. This allowed Estes to limit distracting apps and notifications while keeping employees productive and connected hands-free. The results were dramatic: accidents dropped by 94%, at-fault policy claims fell to just one in the first year, and the company regained control of its insurance risk and fleet safety program.
