A Single View Across the Entire Fleet
Managing fleet data across multiple systems can create inefficiencies and blind spots. By consolidating previously separate platforms, including tachograph downloads, Samsara provides a single, consistent view of fleet activity.
This unified approach enables our transport team to monitor performance more effectively, identify trends early, and ensure consistent compliance across all vehicles and operations.
Real-Time Insight for Safer Driving
Safety is built on visibility. With continuous monitoring across the fleet, we capture key driving behaviours such as:
- Harsh braking and cornering
- Seat belt usage
- Mobile phone distraction
- Close following events
This data is supported by internal and external cameras, providing clear, contextual video evidence where required. Crucially, AI-enabled in-cab alerts give drivers immediate feedback, allowing them to correct behaviours in real time, reducing risk before issues escalate.
A Coaching-Led Approach to Safety
At Day Aggregates, technology supports people, not replaces them. Our approach to fleet safety is rooted in coaching, not just compliance.
Drivers receive real-time ‘nudges’ through in-cab systems, such as prompts to increase following distance, with opportunities to self-correct before issues are escalated. Performance is tracked against agreed safety metrics, with transparent scoring accessible via the Driver App.
This is supported with:
- Regular toolbox talks
- Safety updates
- Remote coaching and feedback
By embedding continuous learning into day-to-day operations, we create a culture where safety improvements are ongoing and measurable.
Improving Efficiency and Reducing Environmental Impact
Fleet technology also plays a key role in improving operational efficiency and supporting sustainability goals.
Idling and fuel usage are actively monitored across the fleet to reduce unnecessary consumption and lower carbon output. Intelligent reporting highlights patterns and trends, allowing our team to take targeted action where needed, while recognising operational requirements such as tipping, traffic conditions, and temperature.
The result is a more efficient fleet that not only performs better but also contributes to reducing environmental impact.
Continuous Improvement Through Data
In a busy transport operation, face-to-face time with drivers can be limited. Connected technology helps bridge that gap, enabling ongoing communication, training, and improvement regardless of location.
Performance data shows clear, measurable progress:
- A reduction in higher-risk driving behaviours
- Increased numbers of drivers operating within ‘green zone’ safety ratings
- Improved overall safety scores across the fleet
Regular participation in Samsara user groups ensures we stay aligned with best practice and continue to evolve alongside industry standards.
Supporting Safer Roads, Every Day
Fleet safety isn’t a one-time initiative; it’s a continuous commitment. By combining advanced technology with experienced drivers, structured training, and a coaching-led culture, Day Aggregates is building a safer, smarter, and more efficient fleet.
It’s all part of our commitment to delivering for our customers while protecting our people, the public, and the environment, on every journey.
