Martin Transportation to install driver monitoring systems fleet-wide

Mar 21, 2016

Martin Transportation Systems, one of the nation’s largest fleets, has installed the Lytx DriveCam system across its roughly 1,000-truck fleet, it announced March 21.

The carrier says it will use the system as an “impartial witness” to determine crash fault, as well as a means for training drivers, it says. The carrier employs about 1,200 truck operators.
