GP Transco’s keys to success
Rewarding drivers for fuel efficient driving behavior
Like any business scaling their operations, GP Transco is always looking for ways to increase efficiency and decrease costs. The difference at GP Transco is that drivers are always part of the conversation. When GP Transco leveraged Samsara fuel data to find ways to reduce fuel costs across their fleet, they created a program that rewards drivers for fuel efficient driving behavior. The program has helped GP Transco save 205,000 gallons of fuel and $350,000 in fuel costs—money that’s used to directly fund the driver bonus program.

Personalizing coaching to reduce risky driving behavior
A video-based approach to safety has helped GP Transco provide "aha" moments to drivers who might otherwise be unaware of their unsafe behaviors. By using Samsara AI Dash Cam footage for in-person coaching, drivers get a personalized approach to safety which has helped them improve their driving habits and stay safer on the roads. Last year, GP Transco reduced speeding by 66%, decreased accidents by 30%, and improved their CSA score in the “Unsafe Driving” category in just eight months.

Drivers are the first line of defense when it comes to protecting a fleet. That’s why GP Transco places such a high premium on equipment durability and maintenance. To accomplish this, they cycle out vehicles every three years so drivers have access to the newest equipment, use Samsara DVIRs for frictionless communication between drivers and maintenance staff, and have an in-house maintenance department for faster turn-around times. There's even a gym and basketball court for drivers to use while they wait for repairs!
