Meet Collins Trucking
Collins Trucking dealt with legacy telematics and missing trailers
Collins Trucking is a for-hire fleet in the flat bed division transporting heavy bulk products throughout the southeast, midwest, and Texas. Based in Georgia, they’re a family-operated business with three generations of experience and employ many tenured drivers with over one million miles accident free.
Before Samsara, they relied on another telematics provider mainly for vehicle tracking and driver communication. However, the system's reliability and support was declining, prompting them to explore alternative solutions. During this time, seven of their trailers went missing at once, causing major operational disruptions. Without trailer tracking in place, they spent eight months manually locating each trailer—although they successfully recovered all seven trailers, it was clear that they needed a reliable trailer tracking solution.
JOE MORELLA
An integrated platform with advanced trailer tracking
As they searched for a more comprehensive platform, Collins Trucking decided to make the switch to Samsara for the real-time trailer tracking and telematics solutions. After installing Samsara Smart Trailers across their 175 trailers, they quickly expanded their partnership to include AI Dash Cams—their first-ever dash cam deployment. Samsara’s easy-to-use HD footage supported their change management efforts during the fleetwide rollout. Today, they have greater visibility across their trucks and trailers to better protect their vehicles and drivers.
Real-time visibility eliminates trailer loss and enables proactive maintenance
Previously, Collins Trucking had no trailer tracking which meant locating trailers—especially missing ones—was a massive undertaking. With real-time visibility from Samsara Smart Trailers, they completely eliminated trailer loss and in-person yard hunts, saving significant amounts of driver time while protecting their $4.3M trailer fleet. They also improved their maintenance program—notably, real-time ABS monitoring enables them to reduce citation risks and maintain a strong CSA score so they can continue attracting new business.

Reducing accidents by 40% to save on insurance costs and protect drivers
Prior to Samsara, Collins Trucking did not have visibility into their vehicles beyond standard telematics data. After experiencing a series of incidents without insight into their drivers’ actions, they decided to implement AI Dash Cams. In-cab alerts for distracted driving, mobile device use, and seatbelt use help drivers self correct and prevent accidents. This resulted in a 40% accident rate reduction and a 100% decrease in rear-end accidents as well as the ability to keep insurance costs down and exonerate innocent drivers.
