- In the podcast interview, Dan Slagen and Joe Lynch discuss the biggest risk facing truck drivers.
- Weather or more accurately the lack of weather-related intelligence and alerts is the biggest risk for drivers.
- Approximately 20% of accidents are caused by weather events such as sleet, snow, heavy rain, fog, and high winds.
- Traditional weather services are not accurate enough or targeted enough to be useful for truck drivers who potentially drive through multiple weather systems and climates every day.
- The cost of weather-related accidents, delays, inventory damage, service failures, and hour of service problems for drivers are enormous, but there hasn’t been a push to improve because nobody can control the weather.
- While we can’t control the weather, we can do a better job of planning around the weather – avoiding all those weather-related problems.
- Tomorrow.io has developed a weather intelligence and climate security platform that is custom-built to help logistics and transportation companies reduce the impact of weather on their operations.
- Carriers using Tomorrow.io’s weather and climate security platform are reducing weather related risk and improving the lives of truck drivers.
