The challenge: escalating fleet insurance and safety risks

At 3 Sisters Logistics, safety goes beyond just meeting compliance standards—it's a core value. To further enhance operations and protect drivers, the company sought a telematics solution that could optimize performance and improve safety.

This was proven when a dash cam helped clear a 3 Sisters Logistics driver of liability in a collision, providing undeniable video evidence that highlighted their quick-thinking actions and saved a life.

“To have the support of evidence from a video camera to see what they see is priceless. I’m thankful Argos pointed us in the direction of Geotab and Lytx. They have been better together.”
