Improved Protection and Safety for Drivers

Introduction

When A1 Removals & Storage in Sussex first considered vehicle tracking technology, they were tackling a specific safety concern: drivers using mobile phones while driving. This dangerous habit carries serious consequences:

• Minimum $375 fine and 3 licence points
• Licence revocation for new drivers (passed within 2 years)
• Maximum fines of $1,800 ($4,500 for lorry or bus drivers)

Despite multiple warnings and emails, the behaviour persisted. Their solution? Installing both external and internal-facing dash cams in their vehicles.

The change in behaviour was instant. The bad habits that came due to them being distracted were rife but have now stopped, and we have seen a huge improvement in general with how well the vehicles are now being driven.

Improved Protection and Safety for Drivers

Over two years, the dash cams proved invaluable across three separate incidents where drivers in other vehicles contested their responsibility in collisions.

Without the evidence and proof of the video footage, it would have been difficult to lay blame on the incidents that took place, and we could have been in a situation where we'd have had to share the blame.

What began as a behaviour modification initiative evolved into a comprehensive safety and operational system. John now has confidence that drivers not only behave properly but also feel supported and heard when vehicles require attention.

Compliance and Maintenance

As a transportation company operating vehicles over 3.5t, they must comply with legal vehicle check requirements. The RAM Plus package has streamlined this process, preventing potential breakdowns through scheduled maintenance.

I also like it when the system automatically reminds us when the insurance, tax and MOTs are due.

Customer Service Improvements

Customer service has also improved significantly:

Customers are often asking us how long the team is going to be or when they are going to arrive, so with the tracking in place, we can accurately say, which keeps customers happy.

The system even offers a live location sharing feature for customers when timing and location precision are critical.
