ICEE Company Adopts In-Vehicle Event Recorders Across Entire Fleet
ICEE operates 680 vehicles in its fleet, which consists of a mix of light- and medium-duty trucks and vans and is based on Ontario, Calif.
The ICEE Company, a frozen carbonated beverage producer, is implementing new in-vehicle video recorders across its fleet. The company operates 680 distribution and service vehicles from more than 100 service centers nationwide. ICEE operates a mix of light- and medium-duty trucks and vans and is based on Ontario, Calif. ICEE said it chose SmartDrive as its provider for this program.
”Having used another system in the past we were already sold on the benefits of event triggered video capture to improve driving skills,” said Rod Sexton, vice president of operations at The ICEE Company. “We chose to switch to SmartDrive because of the support and the coaching programs that come with the product. With the clip reviews and grading of clips, along with SmartDrive’s support, we believe we will see more efficient drivers and a measurable reduction in collisions.”
SmartDrive said its solution is a mix of onboard video and audio and vehicle data capture systems designed to detect risky and inefficient driving maneuvers.
