Safety, VEDR & inspections

A safer fleet with actionable alerts — not just recorded events. Inspections, camera events, and scores in one loop.

Coming SoonThe exposure-normalized Safety Scores analysis ships with the upcoming release. Pre-trips, VEDR events, and training remain available.
The short version
Safety data only helps if someone acts on it fairly. FAST brings pre-trip inspections and VEDR events into one workflow, then normalizes severity-weighted events by mileage and separates overnight scheduling patterns from individual coaching opportunities.

Recorded events don’t make you safer — alerts do

Most fleets already collect safety data: a camera flags a hard brake, a driver runs a pre-trip. But if that event is buried in a separate portal and nobody follows up, it changes nothing — until it shows up as an accident, a claim, and a higher insurance renewal. Safety only improves when events turn into alerts and defects turn into repairs.

Camera events pile up in a portal nobody opens, so risky behavior never gets addressed.
Pre-trip defects get noted on paper and never reach the shop.
You can’t see which drivers are trending the wrong way until it’s too late.
Rising accident frequency quietly drives your insurance renewal up.
FAST safety VEDR events and alerts
The Safety events list — filter by severity, behavior, and status, then open an event to act on alerts.

Inspections, events, and scores in one loop

Pre-trip inspections
DVIR-style inspections from the app, with defects that route straight to maintenance.
VEDR event alerts
Review camera safety events, filter by severity and behavior, and trigger alert-based follow-up.
Exposure-aware safety
Compare severity-weighted events per 1,000 miles, include clean drivers, and label low-mileage drivers as not yet rateable.
Assigned training
Push safety courses to drivers and track completion — overdue items are flagged.

The safety loop that protects your renewal

Act on the alert, fix the defect, assign the training, and watch the score improve — all in one place. A clean, improving safety record is what keeps you eligible for the contracts you want and gives you a real story at insurance-renewal time, instead of a stack of unaddressed events.

Every camera event turned into a documented alert and follow-up, not a buried video.
Pre-trip defects that route straight to the shop as maintenance work.
Safety patterns split into scheduling and coaching actions, with the underlying events still available for review.
A defensible, improving safety record for contracts and insurance.

Close the loop from camera event to alert-driven follow-up and better scores.

Safety connects to the rest of the operation. Inspection defects become maintenance work, and training lives in the same driver app your drivers already use.

Frequently asked questions

Which cameras / ELDs does the safety data come from?

FAST syncs VEDR safety events from Motive, so events and scores appear without a separate portal.

Do inspection defects reach the shop?

Yes — a defect found on a pre-trip becomes a maintenance item automatically, closing the loop between drivers and the shop.

Can I assign training to a driver?

Yes — push safety courses to drivers in the same app they use for pay and schedule, and track completion with overdue items flagged.

How does this help my insurance?

A documented, improving safety record — coached events, fixed defects, completed training — is exactly what you want to show at renewal, and fewer incidents is what lowers cost over time.
