Fleet safety isn’t just about avoiding accidents, it’s about protecting your drivers, your assets, and your bottom line. With rising insurance costs, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and the constant pressure to maintain operational efficiency, fleet operators need technology that works as hard as they do.
That’s where Fleetworthy’s Safety+ solutions come in. Through innovative tools like Drivewyze weigh station bypass, real-time safety alerts, weather-based warnings, and comprehensive compliance management through Haul, fleets can operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently.
During a recent webinar hosted by Fleetworthy partner Transflo, Frances Kilgour, VP of Business Development and Channel Management, and Timothy Henry of Haul by Fleetworthy highlighted how in-cab alerts and driver compliance solutions drive meaningful, fleet-wide safety improvements—benefiting both drivers and operations.
Weigh Station Bypass: Save Time and Keep Rolling
Time is money in trucking, and weigh station delays cost fleets thousands of hours annually. Drivewyze by Fleetworthy offers the nation’s largest weigh station bypass network, allowing pre-cleared trucks to skip inspection stations and keep moving.
“It consistently ranks in top five driver benefits,” says Frances Kilgour of Fleetworthy, highlighting how drivers value bypass programs. The technology works seamlessly with existing ELD systems and provides real-time bypass notifications directly to drivers.
The system’s success lies in its comprehensive coverage and reliability. When drivers receive a bypass notification, they can confidently roll past the weigh station, saving precious time and fuel. For fleets managing tight delivery schedules, these minutes add up to significant operational advantages.
Safety+ Alerts That Protect Your Drivers and Assets
Beyond bypass capabilities, Drivewyze delivers critical safety alerts that help drivers navigate hazards before they become incidents. The Safety+ platform provides contextual, location-based warnings that give drivers the information they need exactly when they need it.
“Low bridges are not common in cameras,” explains Danny Goldstein of Transflo, pointing out how these alerts complement existing safety technology like dash cams. While video systems capture what’s happening around the vehicle, Safety+ alerts provide forward-looking intelligence about what’s ahead.
The beauty of the system lies in its customization. Fleet managers can decide which alerts matter most for their operations and which drivers receive them. New drivers might benefit from comprehensive alerting, while veteran drivers on familiar routes may need fewer notifications.
“You can tailor alerts to reduce duplicate information,” Kilgour explains. This means drivers get relevant, actionable information without alert fatigue, supporting them rather than overwhelming them.
Advanced Weather Alerts: Partnership with NOAA and State Agencies
Weather conditions can change in minutes, turning safe routes into dangerous ones. Fleetworthy’s partnership with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) brings real-time weather data directly to drivers’ cabs, alerting them to severe conditions as they approach affected areas.
“Weather moves, drivers need to know storm zones ahead,” Kilgour emphasizes. Unlike static weather reports, this system provides dynamic, location-specific alerts that travel with your drivers.
These alerts enable better decision-making in real time. Rather than discovering dangerous conditions after it’s too late, drivers receive advance warning, allowing them to pull over safely or adjust routes. Fleet managers can implement operational protocols based on these alerts, prioritizing driver safety over delivery schedules when conditions warrant.
“There’s a higher cost to losing the load,” Kilgour notes, acknowledging that while missed deliveries have consequences, accidents and lost cargo are far more expensive.
The system also integrates state transportation agency data, alerting drivers to road closures and impassable conditions reported by authorities. This partnership ensures drivers don’t end up stuck for hours in locations they can’t move on from.
“That data can be absorbed into the system,” Kilgour explains, ensuring comprehensive coverage of road conditions from multiple authoritative sources.
Haul: Streamlined Driver Compliance Management
Managing compliance documentation is one of the most time-consuming aspects of fleet operations. Haul, recently acquired and integrated into the Fleetworthy suite, provides a centralized platform for managing core compliance documents across your company, drivers, and assets.
“We track what documents are about to expire,” explains Tim Henry of Haul. The platform monitors tax forms, insurance policies, licenses, and other critical documents, generating customizable reports that keep fleet managers ahead of expiration deadlines.
Haul’s daily digest feature provides tactical alerts for same-day expirations, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. This proactive approach prevents costly compliance violations and keeps your fleet operating without interruption.
Flexible Reporting for Every Fleet Size
The platform goes beyond simple tracking, it gives fleets complete ownership of their data. Whether you need standard reports or custom analytics, Haul accommodates your workflow.
“We allow them to download raw data,” Henry says, recognizing that different fleets have different reporting needs. From compliance expiration reports to custom trend analysis, you have the flexibility to view your data however it best serves your operation.
The platform generates out-of-the-box compliance reports while also enabling fleets to export data for custom analysis. This flexibility ensures that whether you’re managing 10 trucks or 10,000, you have visibility into your compliance status and can identify trends before they become problems.
A Comprehensive Approach to Fleet Safety and Efficiency
What sets Fleetworthy apart is the integration of these solutions into a comprehensive safety and efficiency platform. Weigh station bypass saves time, Safety+ alerts prevent incidents, weather warnings enable smart decision-making, and Haul keeps compliance documentation organized, all working together to support safer, more efficient fleet operations.
“This isn’t punitive, it’s something to help keep them safer,” Goldstein emphasizes about the safety features. That philosophy extends across all Fleetworthy solutions: technology that supports drivers and fleet managers rather than creating additional burdens.
The result? Reduced accident rates, lower insurance premiums, better driver retention, improved operational efficiency, and peace of mind knowing your fleet is protected on every mile of every route.
