In an era where more than 50 million packages are being
delivered daily in the U.S., new research reveals the sophisticated
technology ecosystem keeping delivery drivers efficient and safe. A
study from Vontier Corporation (NYSE: VNT), a leading global
provider of critical technologies and solutions to connect, manage,
and scale the mobility ecosystem, shows that the modern delivery
driver is far from just a person behind the wheel – they're
increasingly becoming tech operators. They manage multiple digital
systems simultaneously in the course of their duties, from
navigation to delivery confirmation systems upon parcel drop-off
and beyond.
The research, which surveyed drivers from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and
Amazon, paints a picture of an industry where technology isn't just
an add-on – it's essential for survival. A staggering 97% of
drivers report that technology is now as crucial to their job as
their vehicle, marking a fundamental shift in how America's
packages get from warehouse to doorstep.
The research reveals an emerging hierarchy of real-time
information needs, with drivers ranking their most critical
updates:
- Road conditions (97%) - Essential for route planning and
safety
- Traffic accidents (93%) - Enabling real-time route
adjustments
- Weather changes (93%) - Critical for delivery timing and driver
safety
- Fuel availability (91%) - Vital for uninterrupted service
Additional key findings that highlight this digital
transformation:
- Three in four drivers (74%) now operate employer-provided tech
systems that can include GPS, dash cameras, tablets, and advanced
telematics – representing a significant investment by major
carriers in their mobile workforce.
- Despite covering an average of 12,000 miles annually –
equivalent to driving halfway around the Earth – 95% of drivers
report technology makes their routes more efficient.
- Safety technology is proving its worth: 94% of drivers confirm
that features like blind spot detection and backup cameras have
actively prevented accidents.
Vontier, which provides critical technologies across the
mobility ecosystem, continues to develop solutions that support
this digital transformation through advanced fueling systems,
telematics, and innovative safety technologies. Vontier supports
