Circet, a European leader in telecommunications infrastructure services, has improved safety, reduced emissions and cut operational costs by adopting a fully integrated telematics solution from Geotab Inc. ("Geotab") and Lytx Inc. ("Lytx"). In just three months, Circet and Geotab partnered to connect 3,000 vehicles across Circet's mixed fleet in Ireland and the UK, representing the biggest deployment of its kind in such a short installation window. Circet's fleet, which includes diesel and electric light and heavy commercial vehicles, required a solution capable of handling wide variability in makes, models and drivetrains. The combination of Geotab's global telematics data platform integrated deeply with the Lytx Surfsight video safety platform has given the Circet operations team full visibility into its entire fleet, delivering immediate impact. Within the first three months of this year, Circet recorded a 16% improvement in its company-wide driver safety score. Key safety metrics such as harsh braking, acceleration and cornering all improved, contributing to an average driver score 42% better than industry benchmarks. These improvements are largely due to the use of Geotab's Driver Safety Scorecard and near real-time driver feedback from the Lytx Surfsight dash cams, which alert drivers to risky behaviours and send incidents to the operations team forreview. Fuel efficiency has also improved. Circet's diesel vehicles are now operating at an average efficiency of 10 litres per 100 kilometres, 10% better than peer group leaders. Circet's transition to electric vehicles is delivering further savings. Over the first three months of 2025, electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 3% of total fleet trips, covering more than 263,000 miles (424,000 kilometres). According to Geotab's Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA), Circet stands to save approximately €450,000 annually by expanding its electric fleet and swapping ICE vehicles for EV where appropriate. Based on results across all vehicle types so far this year, the Geotab and Lytx Surfsight solution could deliver over €2.7 million in fuel savings each year. Ray Verschoyle, Head of Transport Compliance at Circet said: "The combined Geotab and Lytx Surfsight solution has transformed how we manage our fleet. We now have the data we need to improve safety, cut fuel use, lower maintenance costs and operate more sustainably. Their focus on innovation and ability to integrate with our systems made them the perfect partners for our needs." Aaron Jarvis, Associate Vice President, EMEA at Geotab, added; "Circet chose Geotab because we offer more than just an off-the-shelf solution. Our continuous investment in product development, combined with strong local service and support, gave them confidence in our long-term value. "Our partnership with Lytx allows us to deliver fully integrated safety solutions, and our open platform meant we could align closely with Circet's internal systems and processes. It's another example of how Geotab's ecosystem can support a customer's needs today while future-proofing business operations." Deep integration to meet sustainability goals The Circet deployment includes Geotab telematics devices and Lytx Surfsight dash cameras with road-facing lenses, and the option of driver-facing ones, too. This hardware is backed by software integration with the Geotab platform, allowing Circet to unify vehicle tracking, video footage and safety data in one system. The rollout was supported directly by Geotab's local project team, who provided in-person training and implementation support to ensure a smooth transition. Geotab's data also supports Circet's sustainability goals. The company is using Geotab's certified Scope 1 emissions calculation tools to track fuel consumption and emissions reductions across both diesel and electric vehicles. This structured, data-driven approach is essential as Circet prepares for stricter ESG reporting requirements under EU le...

Our guest on this week's episode is Danny Ramon, director of intelligence and response at Overhaul Risk Advisory Services. Cargo theft continues to be a problem for transportation companies. Sophisticated organized thieves target goods in transit – from high valued electronics to even a recent shipment of eggs. How can shipping companies prevent and discourage theft of their goods? Our guest discusses the growing incidents of cargo theft and what can be done to prevent them.We've seen increasing use of technology inside truck cabs in recent years, with the rise of tools like electronic logging devices (ELDs), GPS locators, and lots of smartphone apps. But one of the technologies that's been more challenging to adapt has been dash-cams. Laws vary from state to state on what is permissible to capture and record on camera devices. However, there are now some new technologies that can help to overcome the patchwork of state laws and still provide valuable information that these dash cameras can provide.A report from supply chain software company Cleo found that supply chain resilience is rising in stature among business leaders, ranking right up there with cybersecurity concerns. The company's 2025 Global Supply Chain Executive Report shows that 83% of executives surveyed said that supply chain resilience is as critical to their companies as cybersecurity is, with many saying they are turning to technology to boost resilience.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Send us a Text Message.Ever feel like the watchful eyes in your rig are more intrusive than protective? Join me, Rich Kapalka, as I peel back the curtain on the trucking industry's latest, including the unnerving trend of inward-facing cameras and ELDs monitoring our every move. We kick off with a hard look at how these technologies affect our daily grind, pulling from my own run-ins with overly critical systems and sharing stories from fellow drivers who are fed up with feeling like they're under constant surveillance.But we're not just talking tech troubles—our roads have stories to tell, and some are more harrowing than others. From a heartbreaking truck stop shooting in Tennessee to controversial legal decisions in Washington State, I don't shy away from the dark corners of the industry we call home. I also celebrate the swift reopening of the I-95 corridor in Philadelphia, a testament to what can be accomplished when departments work together, and I muse on how similar cooperation might just be what we need to tackle other pressing issues.Lastly, we steer into the personal realm, touching on the digital dangers our kids face and the struggle to stay connected to family when the highway is your office. It's a candid reflection on the importance of parental vigilance and making every moment with our loved ones count. So, whether you're out there navigating the interstates or you're simply curious about the world we live in, tune in for an episode that promises to connect, inform, and stir the pot in true trucker fashion.

Where does a city turn in order to make their roads safer? Who does a private fleet call to improve driving conditions for its drivers? Because these questions went largely unanswered, a new organization was created to better address solutions for safer roads.From companies like ABInbev and UPS to city governments, Together for Safer Roads, or TSR for short, is a global coalition on a mission to create safer roads. David Braunstein is the President of TSR and he joins us today to discuss how the organization has been making impacts for decades. From redesigning roads and intersections, to providing data and data collection systems to improve civil engineering decisions, TSR is playing a part.David also discusses how TSR funding helps to enable smaller fleets to gain access to new technologies like Machine Vision or In-Cab cameras to help improve driver safety. And the impacts from these solutions aren't just local. They are global. Learn more on today's episode with David Braunstein.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

We are psychologically incapable of putting down the phone. That might sound horrific, but Dr. Paul Atchley, a Professor of Psychology at the University of South Florida, has studied human behavior for decades and he's convinced distracted driving is part of our everyday lives, that people want more entertainment and connectivity options while driving, and most importantly, we as a culture find it acceptable to exhibit these behaviors. So what can be done? On this episode of The Fleet, Paul educates us about distracted driving from the perspective of our brain. He explains why we behave the way we do, and how to prevent distraction. He tells stories of international policies that are much more effective at preventing distracted driving accidents and how some cities and private companies are doing it too.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

Driver shortage? There's no driver shortage. So why is the trucking industry having such a hard time filling its open jobs? According to today's guest, the cause is not a shortage of drivers, but an abundance of options. Joining the show is FreightWaves' Grace Sharkey. FreightWaves is like the Bloomberg of transportation -- they report on all the logistics, trends, and news that fuel the global supply chain.In today's conversation, Grace uncovers the abundance of opportunity available to drivers today, and why the antiquated industry is struggling to meet drivers on their terms. She also discusses how she thinks labor wages will roll back and how new innovations will make shipping easier and possibly less expensive.

Earlier this season we sat down with Giovanni Bertolino of Enel X to discuss electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them. Today, we dive even deeper into the world of EVs and what you need to know about implementing them in your fleets. Joining us for that discussion is Tim Campbell, the founder and Managing Director of Campbells Consultancy. He is one of the UK's most experienced commercial vehicle consultants in helping fleets transition from diesel to electric or hydrogen fuel cells. As he puts it, switching to “alternatively-fuelled vans or trucks is the start of the journey, not the end.”In today's conversation, Tim takes on that journey and helps answer the questions you don't even know to ask about switching to EVs. From how to power your vans to what type of chargers to use to why it matters whether or not you are leasing your land to the role weather and location play in it all, Tim shares his take on everything you need to know about EV fleets.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

It's an inevitable transition most fleets will be making -- maybe you already have EVs in your fleet, or have a plan to phase them in in the not-so-distant future.But as we get ever closer to widespread adoption of EVs in fleets, what do you need to know to be ready?Joining us today is Giovanni Bertolino, the Head of e-Mobility USA & Canada for Enel X. Giovanni leads Enel's team focused on growing the company's residential and commercial smart charging business. Before joining Enel in 2010, Giovanni was Senior Manager in McKinsey and Company, where he worked with European companies in the energy sector.In this conversation, Giovanni tells us what he and his team at Enel X have been up to, including how he's working with companies to help them develop efficient infrastructure, why route optimization is so important, and the future of smart charging.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

We are back with more episodes of The Fleet! Kicking it off is our interview with Kristin Danner. Kristin is the Corporate Safety Manager for the City of Kansas City, Mo. Over the last two decades, she's helped develop the city's safety program from the ground floor into the successful 1900 vehicle program it is today.On this episode, Kristin shares her experiences managing fleets and safety in the public sector, including how she creates buy-in with drivers, encourages behavior changes in a positive and personal way, and her unique approaches to rewarding drivers that are complying -- she quite literally drives around with a basket of cookies to give to safe drivers.That and more on today's episode with Kristin!---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

You've heard it time and time again - insurance costs for commercial vehicles are skyrocketing. It's a tale of woe for fleet managers everywhere, but our guest today is here to tell you not to give up all hope just yet; there are strategies you can take to get your insurance costs under control - and possibly even lower them.Joining The Fleet is Dave Michelson, President of DWM Consulting and former longtime CEO of National Interstate Corporation. Dave is a veteran in the trucking industry and has had a front-row seat watching the commercial insurance industry evolve and change over the last 30 years. Dave tells us why insurance prices are changing and what you can do to make sure your business is in the best position to get the best price. He also talks about the dramatic role a safety culture plays in that mission and what he envisions for the future of the industry as a whole.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

DOT Compliance. It's a topic that has caused nightmares for CEOs and fleet managers everywhere.Compliance is an unsung, yet vital, component of running a safe (and legal) business. Every business that operates a fleet has to be in compliance - whether your business is in fleets or if having a fleet is just one aspect of your operations. So what exactly does it mean to be compliant and what are some of the top issues that companies struggle with in regards to compliance? Joining us to answer these questions and more is Andrew Leavitt, the Director of FMS Safety at Ryder and an expert in Department of Transportation compliance and motor carrier liability. Andrew gives us a crash course in Compliance 101, as well as touches on how compliance affects insurance costs and what changes in DOT regulation you need to be aware of as we head into 2021.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

Most of our infrastructure was designed and built decades ago. But updating those massive initial investments to keep up with the times is not realistically possible. In the US we already have an estimated infrastructure investment deficit of $60 billion year over year. All of this, on top of increasing demand for mobility and changing methods of transportation, leads to an important question:How do all these moving pieces play together and what do they mean for the future of logistics and transportation?To help answer this question, we've invited Stephan Keese, Senior Partner at Roland Berger. Stephan has nearly 20 years of experience in the automotive industry and is currently the head of Roland Berger's North American automotive practice based out of Chicago.Stephan joins us to talk about the innovations, trends, and technologies that are impacting the logistics and transportation industries today. He shares some creative solutions that have been implemented around the world to solve their transportation needs, and dives deep into how and why our future technologies will still need to operate within the infrastructure of the past.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

Today, we are deviating from our regularly scheduled programming. As 2020 comes to a close, we wanted to reshare one of our favorite conversations this year; our interview with Lieutenant Michael Crabb. Michael is a Lieutenant of the Orange County Sheriff's Office where he has worked for over 30 years, but it wasn't until the last few years that he began implementing technology to help his officers avoid the same distractions their civilian counterparts do. In this episode, Mike shares his experiences implementing new systems of safety management with his officers, some of the shocking things he realized about his own driving habits after doing so, and the results he and his office are now seeing after widespread adoption.And remember! The holidays are a great time to catch up on some of those old episodes you might have missed. Check them out here.We hope you have a happy and safe holiday season!

What role does psychology play in driver behavior?Joining The Fleet today to help us answer this question is Dr. Jeff Hickman, a Research Scientist at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and the Group Leader for the Behavioral Analysis and Applications group. Jeff has extensive experience in the design, delivery, and implementation of safety and health systems using behavior-based psychology. In today's episode, he shares how he got into this field, how the technology has involved since he first started analyzing driver behavior in 2001, and where it's headed today. Plus, Jeff talks about gamification as a way to manage safety, how managers can think about driver empowerment, and the interplay between self-management in the vehicle and coaching after the fact.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

Last year, the US trucking industry brought in 792 billion dollars of revenue and had over 2 million heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers operating on the roads. Needless to say, trucking is a massive industry, and operating competitively in such a complex industry isn't easy. But one trucking company that stands out in all that noise is Transport America.Joining us today is Lisa Gonnerman, the Vice President of Safety and Security at Transport America. Lisa has over 28 years of experience in transportation and safety management, is an active member in the American Trucking Association, and was named the ATA National Safety Director of the Year in 2016.So what makes Lisa and Transport America different?Their people.Lisa prides herself on the exceptional team of drivers that Transport America has been able to attract through its unique, driver-focused culture and its commitment to safety.Today, Lisa shares her experiences getting into the industry, specifically as a woman in a largely male-dominated field.

In every industry, hiring is a two-pronged process. Not only does it take systems for recruiting great employees, it also requires creating cultures and systems that drivers want to continue to work in.Here to talk to us today about recruiting, hiring, retention, and culture-building is Ozark Motor Line's V.P. of Human Resource & Safety, Patrick Landreth.Patrick has nearly 4 decades of experience in the world of trucking and today he lets us tap into that well of knowledge. Patrick shares what he's seen change over the last several years, why retaining your best drivers in today's demanding market is more important than ever, and explains the relationship between safety and success. He also shares what training and coaching programs they've seen have lasting results, including what technology they are leaning on and implementing fleet-wide.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

Every day, around the world, Amazon is pulling off a logistical feat of inventory fulfillment and next-day deliveries the likes of which has never been seen… So how do they do it?Joining us today is Ahmad Khan, the President and Founder of Colonial Logistics, an Amazon Dedicated Service Provider – or DSP. Ahmad's DSP runs routes in Houston and Fort-Worth, consists of over 200 vans, 450 employees, and delivers nearly 200 packages per day per van – that's upwards of 40,000 packages per day across the company.Today, it's a massive operation, but when Ahmad started the company just three years ago, he had only 10 vans and an optimistic attitude. In today's conversation, Ahmad guides us through that explosive growth, how he nurtured a culture of safety as the company expanded, and shares the good and the bad of being a DSP. Plus, he gives us a glimpse of what it's like on the frontlines of package delivery.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx.

Author and futurist, Alvin Toffler, once said, “The great growling engine of change [is] technology.”If there is one thing we can count on in the years and decades to come, it's that technology will continue to augment and redesign everything we do -- and this includes how we operate and manage fleets.But exactly what technology can fleet managers expect to see in the future? And what can they do today to prepare for those technologies of tomorrow?Joining me today is Neil Cawse, CEO & Founder of Geotab, a Candian-based company that specializes in providing analytics-driven fleet management solutions. Neil founded Geotab in 2000, and while he now leads the fast-growing company as CEO, he is still very much an engineer at heart. In today's conversation, Neil shares his predictions of the future and what these changes mean for consumers, drivers, and managers.

Every manager knows that when you implement fresh systems, new requirements, or updated protocols... employees usually aren't ready to conform right away.Nowhere is this more true than in fleet safety.Managing safety and mitigating risk isn't easy, and it's even harder when your company's cultures and mindsets aren't open to those changes.As longtime CEO of Jetco Delivery and now Executive VP of The GTI Group, Brian Fielkow has decades of experience not only leading and running fleets, but helping transform fleets inside out. And as Brian shares today, creating a culture that promotes safety and accountability starts with the people behind the wheel, not just the technology under the hood.On today's episode, Brian talks about what it means to build a safety culture, how to empower drivers through that culture, and technology's role in it all.
