“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
About
Barricade Company, a leader in traffic control operations in Las Vegas, and now expanding into Phoenix, has always prioritized safety and operational efficiency. However, as the business grew, managing assets, preventing theft, and ensuring driver safety became increasingly complex. To address these challenges, Barricade turned to GoFleet, a solution that promised to streamline operations, improve safety, and reduce risks.
Challenges Faced: Outdated Methods and Rising Risks
Before implementing GoFleet, Barricade struggled with outdated asset management methods. “We used to track our assets on a whiteboard—when you’re managing multiple devices in a busy city, that just doesn’t cut it,” recalls Faith Agnew, Operations Manager. Key devices, such as arrow boards, were frequently subjected to theft and mismanagement, leading to costly downtime and equipment replacement.
The Story
Theft became a significant issue, with valuable equipment lost regularly, resulting in delays and high replacement costs. Faith explains, “We needed a more reliable solution, as we were losing valuable equipment constantly.”
The GoFleet Solution: Real-Time Asset Tracking and Enhanced Safety
GoFleet’s GPS tracking and real-time geolocation capabilities provided Barricade with an immediate solution to their asset management challenges. “The ability to track our expensive assets in real-time was a game-changer,” says Timothy, Fleet Manager. “No more manual tracking on a whiteboard—we can now track everything instantly, which has significantly reduced theft and loss.”
One particularly memorable incident highlights GoFleet’s impact: when a truck was stolen, the thieves cut the wire to the GPS camera, unknowingly leading the police directly to the stolen truck. Thanks to GoFleet’s hidden tracker, Barricade was able to recover the equipment quickly and with minimal cost. Faith shares, “We recovered the equipment quickly and at minimal cost, all thanks to GoFleet. This is the kind of peace of mind our team needs.”
Beyond asset security, GoFleet’s driver scorecards and camera systems also played a key role in improving driver behavior and overall safety by over 70% . “The driver scorecards revolutionized our safety approach,” says Tim. “Our drivers are more conscious of their habits, and we’ve seen fewer accidents, which directly translates to fewer liabilities.”
Barricade shifted from reactive to proactive safety measures by using real-time data from the scorecards and camera footage. Weekly safety meetings and monthly reviews, fueled by this data, became essential for keeping drivers aligned with Barricade’s safety standards.
Since implementing GoFleet, Barricade has witnessed significant improvements not only in asset security but also in operational efficiency. “The integration of GoFleet’s solutions has improved our efficiency as much as it’s improved our safety,” says Faith. “From asset tracking to driver behavior monitoring, GoFleet has become an essential partner in helping us scale our business safely.”
The results speak for themselves: fewer incidents, improved efficiency, and a safer work environment. “With GoFleet, we are better equipped to handle the risks of the road. We can track, monitor, and coach our drivers effectively, and we always know where our assets are. It’s a game-changer for the traffic control industry,” Faith adds.
