Gorilla Safety, a provider of a patented software solution that fully automates all aspects of fleet and safety management, announced the formation of the company and the launch of its new mobile application and web-based dashboard.
Gorilla Safety was launched in January of 2016, unveiling its mobile app, which is the first and only cloud-based solution that fully integrates all the capabilities necessary for safely and efficiently managing short-haul and long-haul vehicle fleets of any size into one platform.

According to the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration, more than one in five trucks are put out of service for safety defects. Gorilla Safety was developed to address this staggering fact, and to help ensure highway safety by maximizing utilization of the features of its industry-changing technology.
