“We founded Gorilla Safety with the singular goal of helping to to ensure all roads become safer for every motorist.

We are proud to see Gorilla Safety honored for that,” said Gorilla Safety co-founder Mark Walton.

This recognition will help elevate awareness of the important role fleet safety plays on our nation’s roads. We greatly value each of these honors, and are confident that our app has the power to truly change the way fleet safety is performed and managed, ultimately impacting the safety of many,” noted Gorillas Safety co-founder Tommy Johnson.
