Gig Workers Face Distracted Driving Daily – ping and DDI Work Together to Minimize Risk
Irvine, CA (March 9, 2022) – Delivery Drivers, Inc. (DDI), a leading third-party administrator specializing in last-mile delivery, announces a new partnership with ping, adding ping’s patented voice-based app to the DDI tool kit for drivers.
Putting drivers first is one of DDI’s main initiatives. With ping, this partnership is the perfect solution in helping to keep our driver-partners safe on the road. In delivery, time literally is money, and one bad experience can sour future business. However, last-minute changes happen all the time. According to research, 71% of commercial vehicle crashes involve distracted driving (FMCSA), resulting in damage to vehicles, orders, revenue loss, liability and injury. ping’s patented voice-based app removes the “urge” for drivers to check their phones by reading important delivery updates and other time-sensitive messages out loud automatically. Installed in minutes onto driver devices, ping saves time, fuel and frustration when trip details change. The platform delivers usage analytics to managers, is highly customizable and reads aloud in over 100 languages.
Adding ping’s voice technology to DDI’s 200,000+ driver platform will allow drivers to do their job more efficiently while keeping them safe on the road. “DDI couldn’t be more excited about this partnership with ping. We take pride in putting our driver-partners first and keeping them safe. ping can help us do that by allowing them to save on fuel, and improve performance while increasing overall retention and efficiency for our clients.” said Carly Fliesher, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at DDI.
“Our partnership with Delivery Drivers, Inc. represents where the industry is going. ping’s mission is to save time, money and lives. We aim to reduce risk, increase productivity and create safer driving habits within their network.” said Barrie Arnold, Co-founder, CRO of ping.
