Episode 016: The Docking Disconnect: Why Ergonomics Matter More Than You Think - A Conversation With Brad Decker.

In this episode of The Getac Podcast: All Things Rugged, I sat down with Brad Decker, who leads Getac’s demo installs and fleet refresh programs, to discuss something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: ergonomic vehicle docking solutions and their impact on first responder safety, comfort, and performance.

Brad shares real-world stories from the field—officers dealing with back pain, gear mounted in all the wrong places, and the physical toll of long shifts in poorly designed vehicles. We dive into how small adjustments, like repositioning a screen or raising a seat, can make a huge difference. And we break down why professional, well-thought-out installs aren’t just nice to have—they’re absolutely essential when lives are on the line.

If you’re managing a fleet, focused on officer wellness, or want to understand what separates a great docking installation from a painful one, this episode is for you. It’s a practical conversation about what matters when your team depends on their tech to do the job right.
