50% of employees admit to being distracted by their cell phones while driving for work. 32% of fleet operators have evidence of on-the-job crashes due to cell phone distractions. It’s time to stop the insanity.
For local fleets without in-vehicle tracking systems, FleetSafer Mobile utilizes an inexpensive trigger device which is inserted into the vehicle’s OBDII port. Once installed, the device automatically connects with the driver’s smart phone and communicates vehicle speed to activate/ deactivate safe driving mode.
When employees start to drive, FleetSafer Mobile activates safe mode and enables you to control how they use their smart phones while driving company vehicles. For example, with FleetSafer Mobile you can prevent an employee from texting and emailing while driving, but still enable them to make and receive hands-free phone calls.
While driving in safe mode, FleetSafer locks the phone’s screen and prevents access to text, email and browser applications. Inbound text and email alerts are suppressed and a custom reply is automatically sent informing others when the employee is busy driving.
Unlike some other solutions, FleetSafer Mobile lets you configure your policies to your own preferences, so you can decide how many or how few of the phones features are available while driving. You can make sure that important client calls get through, but that ‘wrong numbers’ do not.
By keeping distractions to a minimum, your risk of a crash and resulting lawsuit will be significantly decreased. Get started with a 1-Month Starter Kit below, and start driving safer tomorrow!

For local service fleets equipped with in-vehicle tracking systems, FleetSafer Mobile or FleetSafer Vision can integrate telematics data to accurately enforce cell phone use policies when employees are driving.
Data doesn’t lie, and carrier billing records provide a clear and empirical record of how and when employees use their phones while driving – feature phones, smart phones, any phone. FleetSafer Vision collects this data (call detail and SMS detail) with appropriate permissions and in accordance with federal privacy laws and combines it with vehicle telematics data to produce clear and actionable reports that measure employee use of phones while driving. With Vision data in hand, fleet operators are now empowered to promote safe, legal and responsible use of cell phones while driving.
Contact us for a live demo of FleetSafer Vision and see for yourself how a little bit of data can go a long way toward protecting your fleet from risk and liability.
