Every fleet is unique, much like fingerprints. From driver behavior to operational risks, each fleet presents its own distinct challenges. So how can companies tailor their safety strategies to fit their specific needs instead of applying one-size-fits-all solutions?

According to Sean O'Bryan, a professional safety consultant with years of experience in fleet risk management, the key is understanding that decisions should be based on data, not assumptions. He highlights that many fleets invest in safety technology but fail to use it effectively, either by not engaging drivers or by misinterpreting telematics data. Instead of blindly implementing new tools, companies must take a step back, assess their specific pain points, and develop a safety program that fits their fleet's unique patterns. When done right, fleets can see measurable improvements in driver behavior, fewer accidents, and long-term cost savings.

In this episode of Roadrageous, Liam Hoch and Chad Lindholm sit down with Sean O'Bryan, Professional Safety Consultant at Verizon Connect, to discuss why every fleet requires a tailored approach to safety. They explore common mistakes companies make when rolling out safety programs, how telematics data can be leveraged for meaningful change, and why driver buy-in is essential for long-term success. Sean also shares how gamification and a strong safety culture can make fleets safer and more efficient.
