Drivewyze has introduced Drivewyze Free, a service that delivers safety messages to commercial truck drivers directly in the cab. This service provides fleets and drivers with essential alerts and advisories on their telematics devices, tablets, and smartphones, offering preemptive information about potential risks. Core messages cover High-Rollover risk areas, Low Bridges, Mountain alerts, and Rest Area information, enhancing driver awareness and safety.
Drivewyze Free also grants access to real-time traffic slowdowns and safety alerts through the Drivewyze Smart Roadways program. This comprehensive offering reinforces Drivewyze's commitment to promoting road safety and efficiency for connected trucks.
“In North Carolina, where we partnered with the North Carolina DOT, studies found that 70% of drivers that received an alert slowed down ahead of an incident. And the slowdown was significant—on average by 11 MPH compared to 2 MPH in a control group," said Brian Heath, CEO of Drivewyze.
