EpicVue optimizes the on road driver experience

Mar 06, 2023

EpicVue, providers of in-cab entertainment and communication systems packaged exclusively for the trucking industry, announced today at the Truckload Carriers Association Annual Convention its new EpicVue+ in-cab entertainment, education and engagement platform. EpicVue+ delivers DIRECTV’s live and on-demand premium content, a dedicated fleet channel, and includes an interactive training platform.

“With EpicVue+ our popular EpicVue experience has evolved, eliminating expensive hardware, lengthy contracts and includes far more than just TV,” said Lance Platt, CEO of EpicVue. “Our revolutionary new platform, designed specifically for truck fleets, is unlike any other available to the industry because it lets drivers enjoy the comforts of home entertainment while also keeping them connected with their carrier. For trucking businesses, EpicVue+ is an easy-to-install, low-cost solution that promotes job satisfaction and stronger employee connections while enhancing their ability to attract and retain drivers through entertainment, education, and engagement.”

Combining live and on-demand premium content with the added capabilities of communications and training, EpicVue+ core components include:

· Entertain: EpicVue+ allows drivers to watch TV in their trucks on their own time with more than 100 channels of live programming from DIRECTV’s Advanced Entertainment Platform with premium content from networks such as SHOWTIMEÒ and Music Choice® plus a full library of on-demand content. Drivers still have the ability to access recorded content so they won’t miss their favorite shows.

· Educate: EpicVue+ provides a portal dedicated to training and education to help implement best practices and reinforce compliance. Fleet operators can easily manage content distribution or enable access to online driver training from partners such as CarriersEdge.

· Engage: EpicVue+ includes a custom home screen branded for each carrier along with a dedicated fleet channel to distribute company announcements and fleet news, promote incentives to reward drivers for performance, and acknowledge standout employees.

EpicVue+ does not require complex installation of expensive equipment. It can be implemented with easy self-install or professional installation options for in-cab equipment designed and tested to sustain the impact of life on the road. EpicVue also handles any technical issues that may arise. The system and service are available without a term commitment, and for a low, monthly rate of $29 per truck.

“The entertainment features in EpicVue+ alone are worth far more than the $29 monthly charge,” stated Platt. “But it’s the fleet dedicated channel I’m most excited about. The ability to engage drivers and showcase your company culture is invaluable and it’s something we have been working on at the request of our customers. We’ve been dedicated to the process of putting this package together, so needless to say it's with great pride that we are able to finally offer it.”
