Velociti VeloCare Expansion Helps Fleets Monitor Tech Health

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Technology provider Velociti Inc. has announced a new program to ensure that motor carriers will not be caught with malfunctioning telematics.
Known as “VeloCare Unlimited,” the program allows fleets to have real-time, 24/7 technology health monitoring, program management, inventory control, and unlimited repairs for covered assets, said Velociti CEO Deryk Powell.
“We understand trucking companies operate on razor-thin margins,” Powell said at a March 9 news conference at American Trucking Associations’ Technology and Maintenance Council’s 2025 Annual Meeting. “Velo Unlimited, at just 0.048 cents per mile, is intentionally structured at an almost negligible cost. We strongly assert that fleets cannot afford to operate without VeloCare.”
For example, Powell stressed the importance for fleets of having functioning onboard cameras in the event of a crash, as such failures can leave carriers open to so-called “nuclear” multimillion dollar lawsuits, even if their drivers are not at fault.
“The cost of defending an accident without the benefit of video footage is dramatically higher than the cost when video evidence is available,” Powell said. “With VeloCare, customers can rest assured that their technology is doing its job.” He added, “The ROI resulting from healthy technology is clear.”

The company said that over the past 12 years, VeloCare adoption has been growing. It cited one nationwide logistics company that uses the service to support 9,700 cameras, telematics systems, and scanners on its fleet of 6,500 trucks. Velociti said that on average there are 230 vehicles and at least 300 devices being serviced by VeloCare on that company’s assets each week.
In one case, a customer health audit found more than 500 non-functioning dashcam systems across 3,000 total systems, a 16.7% out-of-commission rate. As a result, Velociti developed an aggressive plan to return the fleet to 99% dashcam health, subject to the customer agreeing to a proactive effort to make tractors available. Within 90 days, only 27 systems remained down, Velociti said.
That customer noted that an analysis of its historical data revealed that accidents without functioning dashcam systems were $2 million more costly than accidents with functioning systems.
