EpicVue, provider of in-cab entertainment and communication systems for the trucking industry, announced recently 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.

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 SHOWTIME and Music Choice plus a full library of on-demand content. 
  • 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.

The system and service are available without a term commitment for a monthly rate of $29 per truck.
