Fleet safety · Powered by Samsara

Safety isn’t a slogan. It’s our operating system.

Driver-first. Data-driven. Backed every mile.

Every tractor in our fleet runs on Samsara — AI dash cams, telematics, and digital inspections that give our team real-time visibility and give drivers coaching with context. A healthy, supported driver is a safe driver, so we back you with training and a voluntary wellness program too.

How we keep drivers safe and supported.

Well-maintained equipment, smart technology, coaching that respects your experience, and support for your health — the whole package, not just a checklist.

Proactive PM schedules

Planned maintenance tied to engine hours and mileage keeps trucks road-ready before problems start.

Tire & brake programs

Designed to prevent roadside events and ensure smooth, predictable operation on every run.

Coaching that sticks

Short, scenario-based sessions built around real-world data — meaningful improvement, not busywork.

Smart diagnostics

Samsara fault-code monitoring speeds repairs and reduces downtime — so you’re not stuck waiting.

Digital inspections

Pre- and post-trip inspections captured in the Samsara Driver App with photo verification — no clipboard.

Wellness support

Optional guidance on rest planning, hydration, and ergonomics to promote alert, healthy driving.

Technology that prevents incidents

We run on Samsara to give our team real-time visibility and give drivers coaching with context — catching risk before it becomes an incident.

  • AI dash cams detect risky behavior, enable instant coaching, and protect drivers with context.
  • Telematics monitor speed, harsh events, following distance, and seatbelt use.
  • Driver app simplifies inspections and digital DVIRs, and reduces paperwork.
  • Geofencing & routing guide drivers to the right gate and reduce yard risk.
  • Real-time alerts for weather, road conditions, and route changes.
  • ELD compliance built in — accurate hours of service and reduced violations.

A healthy driver is a safe driver.

Long days on the road are hard on the body. That’s why Taylor offers a voluntary wellness program that any driver can choose to participate in — no pressure, just support. It’s about helping you feel your best behind the wheel and off the clock.

— Our approachCulture over compliance

Safety is everyone’s job.

Technology only works when the culture backs it. We build safety into how we hire, coach, and make decisions — every day, at every level.

Culture of accountability

Clear expectations, near-miss reporting, stop-work authority for every employee, and recognition for safe choices.

Data-driven decisions

We review safety data weekly, then coach, retrain, or refine routes as needed — action, not just dashboards.

Meetings & training

Regular driver safety meetings, onboarding, and refresher trainings keep best practices top of mind and give the team a place to share what they see on the road.

Compliance

FMCSA and DOT compliant operations, including ELD, IFTA, drug and alcohol testing, recordkeeping, and incident documentation. We align with customer site rules and PPE requirements on every job.
