CMT launches safety platform for freight brokers

Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) has expanded its road safety platform into the freight industry, giving brokers access to recent driving data from participating carriers. On Sept. 2, the company announced the launch of Freight Safety Intelligence, which analyzes driving behavior from the previous 90 days and generates a carrier-level safety score. CMT said the score is designed to give brokers another way to evaluate carriers before booking freight, while allowing participating carriers to demonstrate recent safety performance. The platform uses data from carriers’ existing telematics systems rather than requiring them to install new hardware, according to CMT.
