Hills Tankers & Guardian – Safely Transporting Hazardous Goods

Hills Tankers operates a fleet of more than 100 prime movers along Australia’s eastern seaboard, providing transport services and specialised logistics solutions to the petroleum, dangerous goods and bulk liquids industries. Safety is non-negotiable. Discover how they implemented our Guardian solution to reduce the risk of driver fatigue and distraction.

  • Hills Tankers truck transporting hazardous goods

Hills Tankers has drivers on the roads over 600,000 hours per year. Considering transport is the most dangerous occupation in Australia, and combined with the exposure hours and dangers of the freight they carry, Hills Tankers believe it is paramount they do all that is reasonably practicable to support their drivers and lower the risk to the business, employees, and the general public.  

Hills Tankers installed Guardian across the entire fleet of 100+ prime movers via Seeing Machines’ Australian distributor, Telematics Solutions.

“We’ve had in-vehicle monitoring systems, including cameras, for many years. Whilst these systems were great, they didn’t provide feedback or assist the drivers in real-time; they were more reactive than proactive. Guardian, on the other hand, is almost the opposite. Once you convince the drivers that it’s like having a mate in the passenger seat to keep them focused, and not big brother, the benefits are quickly recognised.” – Scott Cullen, Chief Operations Officer, Hills Tankers
