Managing fleet operations within the oilfield industry comes with unique challenges — from vehicle maintenance and compliance to driver safety in distant locations and across multiple jurisdictions.
On this edition of the State of the Fleet Industry video series, Chris Brown speaks with James Victory of NOV (National Oilwell Varco) about managing a fleet of greater than 3,000 power units and trailers supporting oilfield service operations across the U.S. Victory discusses how NOV navigates maintenance complexity, DOT compliance, and telematics deployment across greater than 150 locations.
Victory explains how the corporate uses Geotab and telematics technology to enhance driver behavior, support safety coaching, and higher manage regulated business vehicles. He also shares how in-cab coaching significantly improved driver performance inside weeks and why fleet safety ultimately comes all the way down to ensuring every worker returns home safely.
