Case Study: Carey, Inc. boosts DOT safety scores and cuts fuel costs with Verizon Connect

J. Carey Logging Improves Their Dot Safety Scores With Verizon Connect

Carey, Inc., a family-run logging and excavating business in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, was struggling with manual vehicle maintenance tracking, DOT compliance risks from speeding, excessive idling, and inefficient dispatching. They chose Verizon Connect’s GPS fleet-tracking solution—using Maintenance Alerts, Live Map/Live Fleet, Speeding and Idling reports, Daily Reports, and the Verizon Connect Mobile App—to gain real-time visibility and automated service reminders.

Verizon Connect deployed tracking hardware and a suite of reporting and alert tools that send maintenance and speeding alerts via text and email, provide live vehicle locations, and deliver daily movement and idling reports. As a result, Carey, Inc. raised its DOT safety scores, cut speeding incidents, reduced idling by about 10 hours per day (roughly 50 hours per week), saved an estimated $1,200 in fuel per month, increased productivity by getting two additional loads per day, and extended vehicle life and fleet efficiency.
