Sunstate Equipment Further Establishes Driver-First Approach With Adoption of Netradyne Fleet Safety Technology
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Netradyne, an industry-leading SaaS provider of artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing solutions, today announced its partnership with Sunstate Equipment, a premier provider of high-quality construction rental equipment and tools for construction, industrial, and special event companies. Through this collaboration, Netradyne's Driver•i safety platform and D-450 dash cameras will be deployed across Sunstate's nationwide fleet.
Sunstate Equipment operates in 16 states, delivering top-tier rental equipment, including general rentals, trench safety gear, and industrial/tire solutions. The company selected Netradyne for its advanced capabilities in highlighting positive driver behavior, reducing vehicle claims, providing real-time video access for safety managers, and empowering drivers to proactively self-correct behind the wheel.
Netradyne's Driver•i D-450 is a cutting-edge, four-camera video telematics system that offers a 270-degree view via a forward-facing road camera and two side-mounted cameras—all in a compact, windshield-friendly design. Tailored for Sunstate's diverse fleet of light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles—including those used by supervisors, mechanics, and delivery teams—this solution enhances visibility and accountability on the road.
'The introduction of Netradyne's technology has allowed us to celebrate and reinforce the skill our drivers demonstrate on the road that would otherwise go unnoticed and unrecognized,' said Mark Safsten, Director of Safety and Risk. 'Real-time alerts enable drivers to proactively self-correct their driving around observed hazards, reducing reliance on manager-directed corrections and significantly decreasing subjective interpretation of identified behaviors or events. Additionally, our customers will continue to experience the best rental experience in the industry through seamless equipment delivery.'
Since the technology's rollout across Sunstate's pilot locations nine months ago, driver engagement has surged, mainly due to the platform's focus on recognizing and rewarding excellence. As vehicle claim costs continue to rise, adopting advanced safety solutions like Netradyne's has become increasingly critical.
A key feature of the platform is Netradyne's GreenZone Score, which gamifies safe driving with performance-based rewards. Customers tend to see significant increases in their score after deployment, which has a direct statistical correlation to lower risky driving and reduction of accidents.
'We're proud to partner with Sunstate Equipment as they further prioritize driver safety and recognition through our technology,' said Adam Kahn, President at Netradyne. 'With Driver•i, Sunstate is proactively empowering their drivers—shifting the safety narrative from reactive intervention to real-time, positive reinforcement. This investment demonstrates Sunstate's unwavering commitment to protecting their team, enhancing fleet safety, and providing the safest possible environment on the road.'

Costco cards good for 'hot dogs & rotisserie chickens,' not airports, TSA says
Costco cards good for 'hot dogs & rotisserie chickens,' not airports, TSA says The deadline for travelers to obtain a Real ID for domestic flights and accessing federal facilities was May 7. Show Caption Hide Caption Real ID explained: what it is, why it matters, and how to get yours Real ID requirements: everything you need to know about getting compliant for travel and ID. Costco memberships come with a variety of perks, including access to discounted products and services; however, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently debunked the rumor that customers' warehouse club cards substitute for a Real ID. TSA proclaimed in an X post on Wednesday, June 4: "We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not." TSA Pacific spokesperson Lorie Dankers told SFGate that the rumor of Costco cards being accepted as official identification pops up every year or so. When people try to use their warehouse club cards at airports, for instance, it could lead to delays and travel headaches, she added. Travel: You don't need a passport at these 7 US destinations that feel international As of May 7, travelers need a Real ID or other acceptable identification for domestic flights and accessing federal facilities. Those who haven't gotten one yet may be scrambling to figure out what they need to do before booking their next trip. One thing is for certain: They should probably leave their Costco membership cards at home. Here are the acceptable forms of identification, according to the TSA, as well as some background on how the most recent version of the Costco card rumor originated. Acceptable identification at the TSA checkpoint According to the TSA, valid forms of ID at airports include: Real ID-compliant driver's licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent) A temporary driver's license is not an acceptable form of identification. State-issued Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) or Enhanced ID (EID) U.S. passport U.S. passport card DHS trusted traveler cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST) U.S. Department of Defense ID, including IDs issued to dependents Permanent resident card Border crossing card An acceptable photo ID issued by a federally recognized Tribal Nation/Indian Tribe, including Enhanced Tribal Cards (ETCs) HSPD-12 PIV card Foreign government-issued passport Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada card Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization Card (I-766) U.S. Merchant Mariner Credential Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) How did the Costco card rumor come back up? Food blog Chowhound claimed in the initial version of an article titled "How Your Costco Card Could Save You At The Airport," that people's Costco cards could pass through TSA because it is considered a photo ID. The article cited Reddit, where users claimed their warehouse club cards helped them through airport security when they forgot or lost their regular ID. On June 4, the day TSA debunked the rumor on social media, Chowhound issued an update to the article, saying, "A previous version of this article stated TSA is likely to accept a Costco membership card in lieu of a valid form of ID. TSA does not explicitly state you can use a Costco card as a form of identification, explaining, 'The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name and current address to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint, where you may be subject to additional screening.'" The update concludes with: "Now with the Real ID requirements, (a Costco card) is even less likely to get you through TSA quickly or successfully." If someone tried using a Costco card at an airport, they would likely be pulled from the TSA checkpoint line for further questioning about other personal information, such as their two previous home addresses, Dankers told SFGate.

Analyst Says Alphabet (GOOG) Trading at ‘Huge Discount' – Believes It Can ‘Absolutely' Compete with ChatGPT
Ted Thatcher, president of Bright Lake Wealth Management, explained in a recent program on Schwab Network why he is bullish on Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) and mentioned some of the key growth catalysts for the stock: "At least from a price to earnings ratio, you know, Google's trading around 18 times earnings. If you look at that compared to the other mega caps, it's like at a huge discount. And I understand we've had these concerns about whether Gemini versus Chat GPT usage is competitive or not. But we have to remember, you know, look at Google's revenue. Look at what happened out of their earnings calls. Even their blue link search revenue was up 10%. And then you look at Google more broadly, they have 270 million users, paid subscribers, between their YouTube platform and their Google One platforms. And so when you look at that level of user control that Google has and then you pair that with everything that they just announced at I/O with all these essentially AI apps, some of them authentic, some of them are AI mode with Google Search, you know, I think Google is going to be able to absolutely cram down Gemini through those users' throats, essentially, and absolutely compete with the Chat GPT user growth." Alphabet posted strong quarterly results, but the market remains reluctant about the stock amid threats to its search business due to the onslaught of AI tools like ChatGPT. However, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) bulls believe these concerns are overstated. Google has an edge over competitors because it's easier for the billions of users of its search engine to switch to Gemini instead of opting for a completely new model. Google has over 1.5 billion monthly users interacting with its AI-powered Search overviews. OpenAI, Alphabet's biggest competitor now when it comes to AI search, has less than 5% of its users paying, and its business model is still developing. Google's first-quarter results showed continued strength in its cloud unit, with revenue up 28% year over year and solid operating income growth. This supports Google's broader AI strategy and underscores the scale advantages of its cloud business. RiverPark Large Growth Fund stated the following regarding Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) in its Q1 2025 investor letter: 'Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) shares declined in the first quarter despite solid business fundamentals. Investors reacted negatively to the company's AI product rollout relative to peers, expressing concern about potential market share loss in core search and cloud segments. Nevertheless, Alphabet continues to deliver strong cash flow from its dominant search and YouTube platforms while investing aggressively in its next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure. Trading at a valuation discount to many of its peers, we view Alphabet as a core holding with compelling upside as monetization of its newer initiatives accelerates.' READ NEXT: and .
