Challenge
Day & Ross is one of North America’s largest transportation and logistics companies, operating thousands of trucks across Canada and the United States. Their operations include long-haul and overnight routes, where fatigue risk is a known and persistent challenge. Day & Ross needed a way to identify fatigue risk before shifts and give dispatchers the ability to act early, without adding operational friction or relying on cameras or wearables.
Results
15% reduction in Lytx safety events, with strong dispatcher adoption and early signs of proactive fatigue management behaviors.

Background
Day & Ross is one of North America’s largest transportation and logistics companies, operating thousands of trucks across Canada and the United States. Their operations include long-haul and overnight routes, where fatigue risk is a known challenge.
Despite strong compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) regulations, fatigue risk remained difficult to identify proactively within daily operations.
The Challenge
Day & Ross needed a way to proactively identify and manage fatigue risk before it impacted driver safety and operations.
They required a solution that:
- Predicts fatigue risk before shifts begin
- Integrates into existing dispatch workflows
- Avoids reliance on cameras or wearables
- Supports real-time operational decision-making
Why Readi?
Day & Ross selected Readi for its ability to provide predictive fatigue insights up to 18 hours in advance using existing operational data.
Key capabilities included:
- Hour-by-hour fatigue risk forecasting for each driver
- Integration with PeopleNet for real-time schedule and duty data
- Supervisor dashboards to support dispatch decisions
- Non-invasive deployment with no additional hardware required
The Pilot at a Glance
During the pilot:
- 155 drivers were monitored using real-time operational data
- Dispatchers and supervisors used Readi daily to assess fatigue risk
- Fatigue scores informed decisions such as breaks, route adjustments, and driver check-ins
- Fatigue risk was incorporated into existing dispatch workflows
This enabled teams to shift from reacting to events → proactively managing risk before shifts.
Results: 15% Reduction in Lytx Events
The pilot demonstrated measurable safety impact, with Day & Ross achieving a 15% reduction in Lytx safety events. This indicates a meaningful decrease in fatigue-related risk signals across the fleet, particularly in scenarios where fatigue would typically contribute to harsh braking, speed variability, or delayed reaction times.
By introducing predictive visibility into fatigue risk before and during shifts, dispatchers were able to intervene earlier, reducing the likelihood that fatigue would escalate into observable safety events. Rather than reacting to alerts after they occurred, teams could take preventative action based on forward-looking risk insights.
This shift from reactive to predictive safety management played a key role in reducing event frequency and improving overall operational safety performance.
