As the trucking industry is facing daily headwinds in a literal and figurative sense—rising costs across the board, equipment shortages, and the constant need to recruit and retain drivers—forward-thinking companies like Decker Truck Line are turning to driver retention technology to stay ahead. One tool that’s making a real difference is EpicVue+.
Meeting Drivers’ Needs
Decker Truck Line, with nearly 800 tractors and over 1,400 trailers, understands the challenges of keeping drivers happy and productive. With driver turnover averaging 70% across the industry, finding ways to boost retention is critical. Decker has found success by enhancing driver comfort and connectivity on the road, something EpicVue+ plays a major role in.
EpicVue+ offers in-cab satellite TV, keeping drivers entertained and engaged during downtime.

But EpicVue+ isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about creating a seamless ecosystem for drivers and fleets alike. For Decker, EpicVue+ is more than TV—it’s a recruitment tool. By offering entertainment as a benefit …a perk, Decker makes its fleet more attractive to potential hires, giving them an edge in a competitive market.
Supporting Fleets with Advanced Connectivity
Decker has also been upgrading its fleet with EpicVue’s added features, including trucking Wi-Fi solutions and communication tools. These integrations help drivers stay connected with dispatchers, receive real-time updates, and manage daily routes more efficiently. In fact, Decker’s use of EpicVue+ as a communication platform enables the company to consolidate fleet management tools, making life easier for both drivers and managers. It helps eliminate the need for costly tablets or other standalone devices, as everything can be managed through one centralized system.
In challenging market conditions, cost savings and operational efficiencies matter more than ever. With EpicVue+, Decker has been able to address these areas while keeping drivers satisfied—a win-win for everyone involved.
