    John Poindexter Talks Product Launches, Growth Strategy for 2026

    In this Automotive Fleet on the Move interview, John Poindexter, founder and CEO of JB Poindexter & Co., shared how his company is approaching growth across its multiple divisions, with each introducing new products or concepts as part of its ongoing expansion.

    Reducing Risk by Eliminating Phone Use Behind the Wheel

    In this Automotive Fleet on the Move video, the conversation centers on one of the most consistent contributors to fleet incidents: mobile device distraction. Rather than relying solely on policies or post-incident coaching, fleets are exploring ways to remove the distraction altogether by limiting phone use while the vehicle is in motion.Lifesaver Mobile is one example of this approach, designed to control mobile device use while driving and to integrate with telematics platforms like Geotab. In this video, Ted Chen, cofounder of Lifesaver Mobile, explains that the goal is not only to reduce distraction but also to connect that behavior into a broader safety ecosystem.As these systems evolve, they are extending beyond prevention. Chen explains that by linking driver behavior to real-time vehicle and location data, fleets can gain greater visibility and enable faster, more informed responses when incidents occur—reflecting a broader shift toward proactive, connected safety strategies. Topics Discussed The impact of mobile device distraction on fleet safetyWhy policies alone often fall shortApproaches to restricting phone use while drivingIntegration with Geotab and telematics systemsMoving from reactive coaching to proactive risk reductionConnecting driver behavior to real-time safety insightsThe evolving role of connected fleet safety technologies#fleetmanagement #automotivefleet #fleetsafety 📰 Make sure you're signed up for the AF newsletter so you don't miss another State of the Fleet Industry video ➡ https://www.automotive-fleet.com/news... 🚗 Visit Automotive Fleet for more fleet industry content ➡ https://www.automotive-fleet.com

    What’s Next for Truck Demand in an Uncertain Market?
