The Problem

While delivery, construction, trucking, food and beverage and other fleet-based companies have phone policies, they are impossible to enforce, leading to costly repairs, injuries and deaths. Fleets have a 20 percent annual accident rate at an average cost of $20,000 each, and some accidents result in multi-million dollar negligent entrustment lawsuits. It’s a $2 billion industry problem. To date, there hasn’t been a reliable, cost-effective and driver-friendly solution to warrant a command in the market. Others have tried to solve the problem using hardware or phone sensors, but have failed due to battery-drain, false triggers and high costs that range from $5 to $13 per driver per month.

What The Company Does

Live Undistracted’s patent-pending PhoneSafe blanks the phone screen when the truck is taken out of park, using a combination of software, in-truck telematics and read-only iBeacon technology. The costs is $0.50 per driver per month.
