A recent record breaking $900 million dollar nuclear verdict has set a new precedent for what fleets stand to face as a consequence of distracted driving and marks a raise in insurance premiums.

Technology plays an innovative and necessary role in our development. However, issues like distracted driving are not problems we need to accept as a necessary byproduct of our tech-driven society.

In the crunch of this driver shortage, does it feel like you must choose between keeping your employees from using their phones unsafely while driving and keeping them as employees, period? Maybe you’ve experienced driver push-back when implementing other safety tools, like in-cab cameras? Maybe you’ve even heard an employee say, “If you ask me

Distracted driving is a big problem — especially for commercial drivers who are on the road for long stretches of time.
