LAS VEGAS – Vigillo and J.J. Keller & Associates have partnered to launch a Prescriptive Analytics Solution that identifies unsafe behavior by truck drivers and then assigns training designed to address the issues, announced Vigillo CEO Steven Bryan at the American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition.

Bryan explained that solution leverages the data that Vigillo routinely gathers from over 500,000 truck drivers to diagnose driver behavior that may lead to unsafe operations.

For example, he said that CSA violation data from law enforcement is combined with critical event data from on-board technology to create “a rich profile of driver behavior.”
The resulting “map of risky behavior” is then matched with subject matter from the extensive J.J. Keller Training On Demand library of interactive driver training courses to remediate those unsafe behaviors, Bryan explained.
“Identifying training opportunities, then deploying a training solution virtually in real time, is just another example of taking the power of data and turning it into actionable solutions,” said Bryan. “We are thrilled to be working with J.J. Keller on this innovative use of our technology.”
“This partnership taps into our companies’ core strengths — safety training for J.J. Keller and data mining for Vigillo — to improve driver safety,” Rustin Keller, executive vice president and COO of J.J. Keller noted in a statement. “And that’s really what it’s all about.”
The Department of Labor plans to expand Pell Grant eligibility to some shorter workforce training programs, a move the American Trucking Associations said will help strengthen commercial driver training schools and diesel technician training programs.
For an industry that has watched this issue go back and forth for years, the independent contractor proposal marks the latest swing in the regulatory pendulum.
America’s Service Line adopted Link’s SmartValve and ROI Cabmate systems to address whole-body vibration, repetitive strain, and driver turnover. The trucking fleet is already seeing measurable results.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued more than 550 notices of proposed removal to commercial driver training providers following a five-day nationwide enforcement sweep. Investigators cited unqualified instructors, improper training vehicles, and failure to meet federal and state requirements.
Illinois is the latest state targeted and threatened with the loss of highway funding by the U.S. Department of Transportation in its review of states' non-domiciled CDL issuance procedures. The state is pushing back.
After a legal pause last fall, FMCSA has finalized its rule limiting non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses. The agency says the change closes a safety gap, and its revised economic analysis suggests workforce effects will be more gradual than first thought.
