Meet Kreilkamp



Kreilkamp Trucking needed a more timely way to coach their drivers.

Kreilkamp Trucking is a Wisconsin-based van and refrigerated freight hauler that has been operating for over 90 years. As distracted driving incidents rose across their fleet, Kreilkamp sought to more effectively build safe driving habits by providing feedback in real time, rather than after the fact. As Kreilkamp reexamined their safety program, they also looked to improve driver retention with greater visibility into driving behaviors in order to effectively inform safety and fuel efficiency incentives.

Building data-informed processes to reduce driver turnover by 20% in one year.

To build a culture of continuous feedback, Kreilkamp leverages Samsara Video-Based Safety solution, idling reports, and customizable Driver App to create an engaging driver experience through incentive programs and custom surveys. Harnessing the Samsara Connected Operations™ Cloud, Kreilkamp unified data across their fleet into one centralized and easy-to-use platform.
