eMeter® Is Transforming Drivers Safety with Real-Time Safeguarding

The trucking industry keeps the economy moving. Every day, commercial drivers cover thousands of kilometres to deliver the goods that keep our shelves stocked, our hospitals equipped, and our businesses operating. But while trucks are often equipped with the latest GPS, dash cams and fleet management software, there's one critical element that’s often left out of the safety equation: the driver.

A Crisis Behind the Wheel

The numbers don’t lie. According to recent Canadian transportation safety data:

  • Over 20% of commercial truck drivers report experiencing extreme fatigue weekly.
  • Fatigue-related crashes are 3x more likely to result in severe injury or fatality.
  • 1 in 5 commercial drivers have experienced a medical emergency while alone on the job.

And here’s the real issue: most of these incidents happen quietly, without warning signs that others can see. When a driver is fatigued, dizzy or in distress, they’re often too far from dispatch, out of signal range or unaware of the severity of what they’re experiencing.

That’s where eMeter® by my-eforce changes everything.

What Is eMeter®?

eMeter® is my-eforce’s proprietary, smartwatch-powered safety feature designed specifically for commercial drivers. By pairing with smartwatches many drivers already wear, eMeter® transforms everyday wristwear into a real-time safeguarding system that works silently in the background.

It tracks key biometric signals and behavioural cues to detect:

  • Fatigue and drowsiness
  • Inactivity or extended idling
  • Signs of potential medical distress

If anything concerning is detected, eMeter® automatically triggers an alert - no button-press required. That alert is sent to the my-eforce emergency response team or your internal fleet support team, complete with GPS location and contextual data. If necessary, emergency services are dispatched immediately.

How eMeter® Supports Drivers and Fleets Alike

  • It works for the driver, not against them. No micromanaging or invasive oversight. Just silent, data-driven protection that acts only when needed.
  • Faster response times when every second counts. In the event of a fall, crash or medical incident, drivers don’t need to fumble for their phone. eMeter® speaks when they can’t.
  • Boosts driver confidence and retention. Drivers feel supported, not surveilled. That sense of respect and security builds loyalty in an industry known for high turnover.
  • Reduces incidents and insurance claims. Proactive alerts and fast interventions help stop accidents before they escalate - protecting both your people and your bottom line.
  • Respects driver privacy with GhostMode. Drivers stay protected even when privacy matters most - emergency details remain hidden unless a real incident occurs, ensuring trust stays intact.

Part of a Bigger Picture: my-eforce Safety Ecosystem

eMeter® is just one part of the my-eforce platform - a holistic solution designed to protect professionals who work alone or in unpredictable environments.

Here’s what else my-eforce brings to the table:

  • Emergency SOS: One-tap alerts with live GPS, audio and video.
  • SafetyTimer®: Timed check-ins that auto-alert if not cancelled.
  • Automated Alerts: Detects falls, crashes and abnormal heart rate changes.
  • Live Activity View: Lets drivers and safety teams monitor key alerts from a locked screen.
  • 24/7 Emergency Support: A trained team ready to respond instantly to every alert.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

In a time when fleets are dealing with rising insurance premiums, a shrinking pool of experienced drivers and increasing pressure to improve safety compliance, tools like eMeter® aren’t just nice to have - they’re essential.

Investing in tech that empowers and protects your drivers isn’t just about safety, it’s about culture, retention and operational excellence. Your trucks may already be smart. Now it’s time to make sure your drivers are protected with that same level of innovation.
