How The Barricade Company Reduced Safety Incidents by 70% and Eliminated Equipment Theft with GoFleet

“When you’ve been in the traffic control business as long as we have, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a necessity. But with the right tools, it becomes second nature.” — Faith Agnew, Operations Manager at Barricade Company

Overview

The Barricade Company is a leader in traffic control services, operating across Las Vegas and expanding into Phoenix. As the business scaled, managing expensive field equipment and keeping drivers safe became more complex. With theft on the rise and manual tracking slowing operations, the company needed a smarter, more secure way to manage both assets and risk. That’s when they turned to GoFleet.

The Challenge

Before GoFleet, Barricade relied on manual systems—like whiteboards—to track assets across their growing service area. This approach couldn’t keep up with the pace of operations. High-value equipment like arrow boards and trailers were frequently lost or stolen, causing costly delays and replacements. On the road, safety incidents were rising, and there was no consistent way to monitor or coach drivers.

The Solution

Barricade selected GoFleet for its proven ability to simplify operations while scaling safety. GoFleet’s platform combined real-time asset visibility with advanced driver monitoring tools, giving the team full control across vehicles and equipment in two cities.

Key Features:

• GPS asset tracking with geofence alerts to prevent theft
• ZenCam video surveillance for driver accountability
• Driver scorecards to monitor, coach, and reward safe driving
• Incident footage for liability protection and coaching reviews

One incident underscored the system’s value: when a truck was stolen, thieves cut the visible dashcam wiring—but GoFleet’s hidden tracker still relayed the vehicle’s location. The truck was recovered quickly, and the entire process validated the team’s decision to go with GoFleet.

The Results

GoFleet’s platform helped Barricade transition from reactive risk management to proactive safety and control.

• 70% reduction in safety-related events
• Zero equipment thefts reported since rollout
• Recovered stolen truck within hours, avoiding replacement costs
• Weekly and monthly safety meetings now fueled by real-time data
• Reduced incident liability with clear video evidence
• Faster, more efficient field operations with automated tracking

The combination of asset security and driver safety has created a safer, more agile business model as Barricade expands into new markets.
