Founded in 2018, ESMART provides advanced speed management systems focused on improving road safety within the transportation and logistics sector. Operating from Indianapolis, Indiana, and Saint-Laurent, Quebec, the company serves fleets across North America. Its purpose is to address one of the industry's most persistent and costly issues—unsafe driving, especially speeding—which remains a leading cause of accidents and rising insurance costs.
The organization developed the first non-overridable speed management technology for commercial fleets, allowing operators to reduce speeding incidents by nearly 90%. This innovation has helped make fleet operations safer, more efficient, and compliant with evolving transportation safety standards. The company's clients include LTL carriers, food and beverage distributors, logistics providers, and dedicated fleets that prioritize operational safety, compliance, and risk reduction.
With a strong commitment to service, the company provides 24/7 technical assistance and in-field account management. This hands-on approach ensures customers have the support they need to operate confidently while maintaining safety as a core business priority.
The company's vision is centered on using technology to make roads safer for drivers, businesses, and communities. Its Intelligent Speed Assistance systems are designed to prevent drivers from exceeding safe limits, offering fleets a proactive solution to speed-related risks. Across the United States and Canada, these systems have become an integral part of operations for fleets seeking to lower crash rates and improve safety compliance.
The organization's philosophy combines innovation with accountability—building technology that enforces safety consistently while maintaining operational efficiency.
Mandatory ISA (Driver Non-Override): Real-time speed control based on GPS location and road-specific speed limits.
Low Bridge Collision Prevention: Automatically removes throttle input when a vehicle is heading toward a known low-clearance bridge. If the driver does not reroute, the car will coast to a stop. The system does not apply the brakes, allowing the driver to remain in control while preventing bridge strikes.
Geofencing-Based Speed Limits: Fleets can set custom speed limits within geofenced areas (e.g., customer yards, schools, terminals).
Remote Vehicle Immobilization: Authorized fleet managers can turn off a vehicle's mobility in real time to prevent unauthorized movement or theft.
Speeding remains one of the top causes of fatal truck crashes in North America. Beyond the immediate danger, these incidents affect compliance scores, raise insurance premiums, and increase the risk of costly legal cases. The financial and operational impacts of unsafe driving can threaten the long-term stability of transportation companies.
Many fleets rely on telematics and electronic logging devices to observe driver behavior. However, these tools only record information—they cannot prevent speeding in real time. ESMART bridges this gap by providing an enforcement-based solution that acts before a violation occurs. Its ISA system uses GPS and data-driven logic to enforce compliance automatically, preventing dangerous situations on the road.
This capability allows fleets to lower accident rates, reduce fuel usage, and extend vehicle life through smoother driving patterns. The system helps businesses not only meet safety requirements but also improve their financial performance through fewer crashes and lower insurance costs.
ESMART has continued to offer the transportation industry innovative safety solutions that have earned widespread adoption and recognition. Its various projects highlight the impact of its technology on fleet safety, operational efficiency, and insurer confidence.
Low Bridge Collision Prevention Development: Originally developed in collaboration with Western Express, this feature has been adopted across multiple national fleets.
National Deployment with a Top-Tier Food Carrier: Secured a fleet-wide deployment with one of the largest and most respected brands in food transportation, representing significant validation of ESMART's value and scalability.
GenOx Transportation Partnership: A specialized carrier in the cryogenic and compressed gas industry, GenOx selected ESMART to enhance fleet safety and speed control.
GP Transco Implements ESMART : One of the most technologically advanced fleets in North America, GP Transco announced the deployment of ESMART to support its safety-first initiatives and speed management policies.
K&B Transportation – 80% Reduction in Preventable Accidents: In a 2025 Commercial Carrier Journal article, K&B Transportation reported an 80% reduction in preventable accidents. The company credited ESMART's Weather-Adaptive Speed Management as a key contributor to that success by slowing trucks in impacted weather zones.
Nationwide Adoption Milestone: ESMART technology is now deployed across thousands of Class 6–8 trucks in North America, helping customers reduce speeding events by up to 90% and significantly lower crash risk.
Insurance Engagement & Risk Reduction Programs: Recognized by leading commercial trucking insurers as a technology that reduces risk and improves safety scores. Several insurance companies offer policy benefits or discounts to fleets that adopt ESMART, demonstrating the value its solutions have in reducing claims and mitigating liability exposure.
Industry Recognition & Speaking Engagements: Regularly featured at leading industry events for its thought leadership in safety innovation and compliance readiness, ESMART presented on the impact of ISA and dynamic speed management, including at the TCA (Truckload Carriers Association) Benchmarking Meeting.
ESMART continues to lead advancements in fleet safety technology through precision, research, and collaboration. Its ongoing work reflects a commitment to measurable improvements in how fleets operate and how drivers stay protected. By developing technology that enforces compliance automatically, the company ensures that safety becomes an integral part of transportation—not an afterthought.
Each system implemented supports the company's broader mission to create safer roads, reduce preventable crashes, and help fleets operate with confidence. This company's continued innovation and reliability make it a trusted partner for companies striving to meet higher standards of safety and performance across North America.
