Supporting Safer Field Operations: S&R Vapor Recovery’s Proactive Approach to Driver Monitoring
Delivering Quality, Reliability, and Service Every Day
S&R Vapor Recovery supports energy operations across the United States by designing, manufacturing, and servicing vapor recovery and compression equipment used in oil and gas production. Their technology helps operators capture emissions, recover valuable gas, and improve efficiency while supporting environmental and regulatory goals.
With more than 45 years of experience and service teams operating across multiple states, S&R Vapor Recovery works in demanding environments where reliability, safety, and accountability are essential.
Many of their employees regularly travel between facilities, well sites, and customer locations to install and service equipment. Because of this, safe driving plays a critical role in protecting both their workforce and the customers they serve.
Recognizing the need to stay ahead of potential risk, S&R Vapor Recovery’s leadership team began looking for ways to strengthen how they monitor employee driving records.
● THE CHALLENGE
Limited Visibility Between Driving Record Reviews
Before implementing a monitoring solution, S&R Vapor Recovery reviewed driver records periodically through their background screening provider. While this approach provided basic insight into driver history, it created gaps between reviews.
Like many organizations with employees who drive for work, the team faced several challenges:
- Driving records were reviewed periodically, leaving long periods without visibility
- New violations or license status changes often went unnoticed between checks
- Serious issues, such as DUIs or suspensions, relied heavily on driver self-reporting
The team also began noticing an increase in speeding violations, reinforcing the need for more consistent oversight.
With employees operating across states like Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah, leadership wanted greater confidence that driver records remained current. Rather than waiting for issues to surface, they chose to take a more proactive approach.
● THE SOLUTION
Continuous Monitoring for Simpler Driver Oversight
To strengthen their program, the company implemented Embark Safety’s continuous MVR Monitoring, allowing their team to move from periodic record checks to ongoing monitoring of driver records.
Instead of manually requesting reports, the system automatically delivers updates when new negative activity or license changes appear on their employees’ driving record.
Tracey Turner, Human Resources Manager at S&R Vapor Recovery shared:
“Embark MVR Monitoring has made managing driver compliance so much easier. I never have to worry about missing an employee’s license expiration or keeping up with their driving history — new reports are delivered automatically.”
As a result, the team has greater confidence that only safe and qualified employees are operating vehicles on behalf of S&R Vapor Recovery.
● THE IMPACT
A More Streamlined Monitoring Process
Today, the company has a more reliable and efficient process for monitoring employee driving records. Automatic updates help ensure the HR team stays aware of violations, license expirations, and other changes without the need for constant manual checks.
“It gives us peace of mind knowing everything is up to date and accurate,” said Tracey.
For S&R Vapor Recovery, strengthening driver monitoring wasn’t just about compliance, it was about building a process that better supports the company’s people, operations, and long-term safety goals.
