EpicVue, an in-cab entertainment and communication provider, recently announced that Decker Truck Line is upgrading to EpicVue+. The trucking company will implement the entertainment, engagement, and educational platform across its fleet of 800 tractors.
“We’ve had great success over the past five years with EpicVue in-cab TV as a recruiting, retention, and driver comfort tool, and now we’re looking forward to using EpicVue+ to enable an even better relationship with our drivers,” said Dale Decker, CEO at Decker Truck Line. “Interpersonal communication with drivers, who make up the majority of our workforce, is difficult in this industry. We are excited to see what we can do to improve our engagement with drivers by using EpicVue+.”
Decker Truck Line is also anticipating savings by using the EpicVue+ platform to exchange information in place of tablet data plans. The company will eliminate the cost of those plans by using EpicVue+ on the Verizon network as a single system for operational data and communication and to give drivers access to in-cab Wi-Fi.
“We’ve been discussing the capabilities that EpicVue+ now offers with EpicVue for a number of years,” Decker said. “We’re glad they’ve implemented their roadmap for the future and done the work to make this technology available, and we’re excited to see what we can now do to work more closely with our drivers.”
