Allan Myers Achieves 48% Reduction in Fleet Incidents with Netradyne

Company Summary

Allan Myers Inc. is a leading heavy civil construction and construction materials company in the Mid-Atlantic. With nearly 85 years of history, the company operates eight regional offices and twenty-two asphalt and five quarries, employing more than 2,800 people across markets including design-build, site development, transportation, and water infrastructure.

The company's transportation operation includes approximately 1,600 drivers and more than 800 vehicles. Unlike traditional long-haul trucking, Allan Myers vehicles operate on daily routes supporting construction sites, with drivers returning home after each day.

Challenge

When Allan Myers decided to move on from their previous telematics provider, Steve Wilson, Director of Fleet Safety, saw an opportunity to address a fundamental challenge in transportation: drivers work independently across dispersed job sites, making it difficult to provide real-time support and coaching.

"The one thing that's unique about drivers is it's not like you can stand over and supervise them," Wilson explained. "They're on their own out there. You need tools to help support them in real time."

The company needed more than basic telematics. While previous systems could detect hard braking or speeding events, coaching without video context was challenging. Drivers often couldn't recall specific incidents, making coaching discussions difficult.  

Manual Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) processes depended on text messages, scanned forms, and faxed documents. The company lacked real-time vehicle location visibility, requiring calls to drivers that created distractions and safety risks.

Fuel management presented another critical challenge. Fuel expenses represent a massive cost center, especially during cold winters when fuel vaporizes and consumption spikes. Allan Myers was tracking fuel manually, making it nearly impossible to detect theft or analyze usage trends. The company needed a way to correlate hours, mileage, and fuel burn to trigger preventative maintenance and manage their substantial fuel expenses through detailed reporting.  

Additionally, driver safety was a priority. Reducing incidents was a primary concern for employee health and the associated rising costs.  

Solution

Wilson began an extensive vendor search, starting with nine suppliers and narrowing to three finalists. The final decision came down to one key differentiator: Netradyne's self-coaching system.

"I'm a believer that there's 10% of people who are going to excel no matter what I do. 80% can get it done with a little bit of coaching. And then 10% are going to be the late adopters. That's what Netradyne allowed us to do—focus my time where it matters most."
— Steve Wilson, Director of Fleet Safety

Allan Myers launched a pilot in December, then rolled out cameras across the heavy fleet by June to approximately 420 units. Netradyne conducted an onboarding session in Dover, Delaware, where maintenance staff learned installation best practices. Netradyne's Services Engineer, Dave Eichorn, built strong relationships with shop managers, providing support and guidance.

The company took a leadership-first approach to build trust. COO, Brock Myers and CEO, Aaron Myers, both installed cameras in their personal vehicles, demonstrating commitment from the top. The coaching approach focused on conversation, not confrontation. If scores dropped significantly, Wilson would ask, "Hey, are you okay?" to open dialogue about what might be affecting their driving.

An unexpected benefit emerged: healthy competition. Drivers began competing and sharing scores throughout the day. "We're a company full of competitors," noted Shannon Moody, Director of Communications and Marketing. "The way drivers built a community around these scores was something no one anticipated."

Allan Myers expanded the program to include 412 pickup trucks and began piloting Netradyne's fleet management system which includes fleet tracking, fuel management, preventative maintenance, and Hours of Service (HOS) compliance.  

Results

The impact of Netradyne's implementation has been substantial across Allan Myers' fleet operations. "I'd love to take credit for that, but it wasn't me," Wilson said. "It's the tools that we now have and support from senior leadership."

Key results include:

• 48% reduction in fleet incidents from September 2024 through end of 2025
• Heavy fleet drivers averaging 935-945 GreenZone scores, Netradyne’s comprehensive metric tracking safe and risky driving behaviors, significantly above the company average of 908
• 86% of heavy fleet drivers actively using the mobile app, with many proactively calling to review alerts

The company implemented a quarterly $500 safe driving bonus tied to maintaining scores above 900. More importantly, there's been a cultural shift from resistance to engagement, with drivers now competing for perfect 1000 scores.

Initially, drivers expressed skepticism, but perspectives shifted when Wilson reviewed footage with them. "Once drivers realize this isn't about punishment, it's about awareness and improvement; the conversations become very productive," Wilson said.

The company now uses a streamlined reporting system where an administrator pulls Netradyne data and distributes scorecards to team leaders for follow-up conversations.

Next Steps

Allan Myers is expanding its Netradyne partnership to deploy a unified platform bringing together safety and fleet management. The goal is to manage costs through metrics around fuel consumption, maintenance, and compliance while continuing to reduce risk.

Improving fuel efficiency is critical for a company like Allan Myers where fuel costs dominate. The team plans to leverage Netradyne’s unified dashboard to monitor fuel burn and idling across the fleet, identify fuel-wasting driving, and coach drivers to improve. "I’m looking forward to applying the increase in safety to fuel efficiency. Having a fuel score and coaching workflow to improve driver MPG will be a gamechanger," Wilson noted.

Customizable maintenance workflows will streamline inspections, DVIRs, and defect repairs to keep vehicles running. With fleet tracking, managers can monitor fleet activity at jobsites and optimize deliveries. For HOS compliance, the Driver•i camera doubles as the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) to reduce in-cab hardware. Having an automated solution to manage driver logs, available hours, and violations will save time and prevent calls to the office.

Wilson credits Netradyne's responsiveness for success. "We had people who were invested in our success and willing to work through challenges alongside us," he said. "That kind of partnership, where they don't give up on you, that's what creates results."

With every vehicle now equipped with cameras, Allan Myers has positioned itself to continue improving safety while gaining the operational insights needed to optimize a complex construction fleet. The comprehensive system helps pay for itself through reduced incidents, lower costs, and operational efficiencies.
