How Samsara Helped InReach Build a Stronger Culture of Driver Safety
It can be easy, in today's fast-paced commercial environment, to focus on immediate business goals without giving much thought to the partnerships that make those successes possible. At InReach, our mission is to create customized onsite food and beverage programs for companies and organizations across America that keep employees fueled, focused, engaged, and productive throughout the workday. But behind every fresh meal, healthy snack, premium coffee, and workplace refreshment we deliver is something equally as important: the safe journey that gets it there.
As communities across North America prepare to welcome increased travel and activity surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup, safe, reliable transportation is more important than ever. For the past three years, that journey has been supported by our partnership with Samsara.
Every day, our drivers travel thousands of miles delivering fresh food, beverages, and workplace essentials to customers throughout our service areas. Their safety, along with the safety of the communities they travel through, has always been a top priority for us at InReach.
Three years ago, we began looking for a partner that could help us strengthen that commitment even further. We found that partner in Samsara.
Integrating Samsara’s technologies into our fleet operations provided us with greater visibility into driving behaviors. The platform monitors speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration, cornering, and compliance with traffic signs and signals. Through these insights, Samsara has given our team valuable opportunities to coach drivers, reinforce safe habits, and proactively address potential risks before they become larger problems. Combined with GPS fleet tracking, Samsara's real-time crash detection and collision risk alerts have provided another layer of awareness, helping us respond quickly if an incident occurs while continuously strengthening our overall approach to driver safety. The results have been significant.
Since implementing Samsara’s technology, InReach has improved its driver safety score by 29% while reducing claims costs by 46%. Those numbers reflect measurable operational improvements, but they also represent safer journeys for our employees every day.
One of the greatest benefits of our partnership with Samsara has been the culture the company helped us build. Rather than viewing safety as a checklist or a compliance issue, we've been able to foster ongoing conversations, reinforce positive driving habits, celebrate successes, and equip our drivers with the tools and feedback they need to be at their best on the road.
We believe the strongest partnerships are built on shared values. Our relationship with Samsara is rooted in a common commitment to protecting people, encouraging accountability, and creating safer conditions for everyone.
As millions of people travel to experience the excitement of the World Cup, organizations across the country have an opportunity to demonstrate the importance of preparation, teamwork, and safety both on and off the road. We're proud of what we've accomplished together over the past three years, and we’re excited to continue building on that foundation. Successful workplace operations begin with people who are energized, engaged, focused, and supported. InReach helps fuel workforces across America; Samsara helps power safer journeys for our team.
