1 min to read


SmartDrive Systems Inc., a global leader in driver risk management systems and services, has completed a full fleet deployment at McBride Electric, a nationwide electrical contractor.


SmartDrive was able to achieve rapid installation of its safety platform to all 14 McBride locations nationwide, from Atlanta to San Diego.
McBride's entire fleet of vehicles is now outfitted with SmartDrive. McBride's Director of Risk Management, Julie Gasper says what sold McBride on SmartDrive is its managed web-based portal and automated professional event review service. "We are already seeing results," says Gasper. "Our fleet chose SmartDrive over all other safety devices because of its managed solutions which include daily, scheduled reporting, e-mail dashboard summaries and the fact that it's completely web-based."
SmartDrive's service offers unique hardware and software solutions that capture onboard video events of problematic driving incidents. SmartDrive then organizes the management, professional review and driver retraining and improvement from these incidents through a managed web-based portal service accessible anywhere, anytime by fleet managers, risk managers, safety managers and company executives.
Fleet managers utilizing the SmartDrive system are able to predict and prevent crashes, improve overall driver effectiveness, and realize annualized risk-related savings ranging from 50 percent to 90 percent, according to the company.
SmartDrive mitigates risk by improving driver behavior and assessing liability in collisions. For more information, visit www.SmartDrive.net.
