Marty Fletcher, director of technology and training with U.S. Xpress, Inc. said his company has been using a collision avoidance system since 1996. He estimated that it had reduced the company's accidents by 50 to 60 percent. In 2002 there was a huge pileup of vehicles in the fog outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee involving over a 100 vehicles. A U.S. Xpress truck was involved in the crash, but the warning system allowed the driver to pull over to the right on the grass, missing a tanker truck in front of him and avoiding a fiery crash.
