How Corrigan Oil Cut Risk Frequency by 50% Across Five Years with Lytx

Founded in 1958, Corrigan Oil Co. is a Michigan-based, family-owned carrier hauling an average of 13,400 gallons of fuel per load across the Northeast. With more than 500 trucks on the road and 14 operating companies under one umbrella, its drivers spend as much time outside the cab at job sites, working hoses and meters, as they do behind the wheel.

Safety here is a cultural commitment, not a compliance checkbox. Five years ago Corrigan introduced Lytx DriveCam® and built a balanced coaching program around positive reinforcement and professional development.

Five years in, everything that we do revolves around Lytx right now. I wouldn’t want to think of coming into work and sitting down every day without Lytx there beside us.

— Ed Aldrich, Driver Manager, Corrigan Oil Co.

When Video Becomes a Training Asset, Not Just a Safety Tool

Before joining Corrigan Oil as Safety Coordinator, Roger Hayes was a police officer and accident reconstructionist who worked hundreds of scenes where stopping distance ran out. That background shapes the culture he has built: video isn’t just a safety tool, it’s a training asset, and well-handled near-misses get shared in driver meetings.

Without Lytx, I never would have seen a 20-year veteran calmly navigate a loaded tanker around a vehicle that cut him off. That video changed everything.

Video That Advocates for Drivers

Footage captures not just near-misses but job-site conditions and customer interactions, giving management the ability to advocate for drivers and resolve disputes.

Defense Against False Claims

When a customer alleged a spill was Corrigan’s responsibility, video of conditions on arrival settled the question without dispute, saving the company from unnecessary clean-up costs.

Coaching That Compounds

Drivers improved their following-distance events by 34%, which led to an 8% reduction in rear-end collisions.
