With more than 8,500 trucks, 27,000 trailers, and 14,000
associates, safety on and off the road is a top priority for
Werner. Video footage from front-facing Samsara AI Dash Cams helps
the truckload transportation and logistics services company to
better understand how incidents on the road happen and how to
prevent them in the future.
Samsara AI Dash Cams enable real-time incident detection, in-cab
preventative coaching, coaching workflows, and worker safety
scores. Alerts provide Werner’s drivers with audio warnings when
high-risk behaviors like speeding, rolling stops, and harsh braking
are detected. As a result of Samsara adoption, Werner saw positive
safety outcomes and found more opportunities to recognize drivers
for good behavior and attentiveness on the road.
“Werner is intentional and focused on ensuring the safety of our
own drivers and the motoring public,” said Daragh Mahon, EVP &
CIO of Werner Enterprises. “To innovate in the transportation and
logistics industry, you need to work with like-minded technology
leaders. Samsara’s pace of innovation is what we were looking for
and we are excited for the continued growth with them in our
digital transformation journey.”
Werner has a “Cloud First, Cloud Now” strategy and is well on
its way to being the first major truckload carrier in North America
to move its entire technology stack and operations to the Cloud.
Samsara’s open ecosystem makes it possible for Werner to collect,
analyze, and act on data from Samsara’s Connected Operations Cloud
in its proprietary fleet management platform. With more than 4.6
trillion data points processed annually, Samsara is uniquely
positioned to help large transportation and logistics companies
increase their operations’ safety, efficiency, and
sustainability.
“Samsara’s potential to improve the lives of millions of people
who power our economy is what keeps us innovating,” said Stephen
Franchetti, CIO of Samsara. “Real-time data is the foundation of
creating a better driver experience and a more resilient supply
chain. Werner demonstrates what’s possible when you lean into
innovation and it’s an exciting time to be a part of their
journey.”
