TEAMS Transport Reduces High-Risk Driving by 48% and Enhances Driver Protection with Samsara's AI Safety Platform
July 16, 2025
WINNIPEG, MB – TEAMS Transport, one of Canada’s most trusted shipping fleets specializing in dry freight and deck freight transport, reduced insurance claims by 39%, cut high-risk driving behaviors by 48%, and realized over $1 million in insurance-related savings in a single year by unifying and improving its operations through Samsara Inc., the pioneer of the Connected Operations® Platform.
Faced with the complexities of a growing fleet of over 230 trucks, 300 drivers, and 550 trailers, TEAMS Transport’s legacy systems struggled to provide the real-time data needed for proactive management. The company required a modern, integrated solution to enhance visibility across its safety, maintenance, and dispatch functions.
By deploying Samsara’s AI Dash Cams, Asset Gateways, and the Samsara Driver App, TEAMS Transport has built a more proactive and transparent safety culture. The platform provides real-time alerts and video footage that have been instrumental in coaching drivers and exonerating them from not-at-fault incidents.
"Every part of our operations relies on Samsara in some way—dispatch, safety, maintenance, customer service, even our customers themselves. It’s integrated into everything we do," said Robert Cousins, Safety Manager at TEAMS Transport. "Samsara was incredibly easy to implement—from installation to training, everything was so simple. If you can use a cell phone, you can use Samsara. That ease of use was a big reason we chose it."
Beyond the significant insurance savings, the operational efficiencies have been transformative. Samsara’s platform has enabled TEAMS Transport to:
Save $389,000 in maintenance and tire-related costs by using photo-enabled DVIRs to catch issues before they lead to costly roadside breakdowns.
Recover 100% of misplaced equipment, saving over $19,000 in pallet jack replacements with Samsara Asset Tags.
Reduce Hours of Service (HOS) violations by 63% and improve its Manitoba Carrier Profile safety score by 26%.
Enhance operational decision-making, with dispatchers using live camera feeds to assess road conditions during harsh Canadian winters and reroute drivers to avoid hazards.
"TEAMS Transport's incredible results demonstrate the power of connected data in building a safer and more efficient operation," said Liz Klein, Director of Regional Sales Canada at Samsara. "We are proud to partner with them as they leverage our platform to not only achieve a remarkable return on investment but also to reinforce their deep commitment to driver safety and customer service. Their success is a testament to what is possible with a truly unified platform."
The seamless integration of Samsara’s platform with TEAMS Transport's existing dispatch system has automated workflows, reduced manual paperwork, and provided a single source of truth for the entire organization, from drivers to the back office.
