- 2. WHO WE ARE • Established early 2012 • Set out to make fleet management app for SMB • The #1 trucking app for Android & iOS • More than 3,000 fleets using today • Industry acclaimed* electronic driver log *Dave Nemo Show, Oct 2014 2
- 3. REGULATING TRUCKS 3 • Commercial vehicles over 4.5t must have a USDOT Number • Subject to federal safety regulations. • Officers enforce the federal rules through roadside inspections. • 3 million inspections are performed annually. • Companies are assigned a public safety rating (CSA score) • Drivers must log hours of service (HOS) to comply with safety regulations. • 80% of drivers still use the paper logbooks. • HOS paperwork volume is the 2nd largest after tax filings. (FMCSA, 2014)

INDUSTRY: HOS Reporting Drivers 4 4-5 Million Long-haul Trucks and Buses 4+ Million Commercial Vehicles 4-5 million Trucks must record hours of service 80% Still using paper logbooks 1 billion Paper logs submitted and filed every year $1.7 billion Potential cost savings in paperwork 4+ million Required to complete logs part-time

- 7. PAPER LOGS • Driver creates log on a paper graph • Driver collects supporting documents on paper during trip • Driver keeps copies of previous 7 days logs plus current day for inspection purposes • Driver hands in copies of logs at fleet office or sends by Fax or TripPak • Fleet audits log or has a firm audit log (Paper and Audit) • Fleet reprimands as required, based on audit results • Fleet stores all logs for 6 months plus current month for audit purposes 7 Pros • Driver can change logs • No process change Cons • Time 1-6 weeks for information • Form and manner violations • What is my liability? • What if I get audited?
- 8. ELECTRONIC LOGBOOK • Logs automatically created using mobile technology • Driver captures supporting documents during trip • App stores 7 days of logs plus current day for inspection purposes • Logs audited and visible to fleet in real-time • Dashboard view of all logs and potential violations • Real-time coaching with drivers • All logs stored for 6 months plus current month and available when required 8 Pros • Driver can edit logs • Real time status, no risk • No Form and Manner issues • Real time status • Where is my driver? • Document Capture Cons • Process change

- 10. ELECTRONIC LOGGING DEVICE (ELD) Proposed Specification • Connected to vehicle – Records vehicle operation and movement – A tamper-resistant device • Creates a record of duty status – When and where a driver was driving – Inspected at roadside • Auditable – Keeps full record on server for comprehensive audit by authorities 10

Editor's Notes
- We set out to collaborate with drivers and fleet operators to build the best fleet management platform using today’s technologies—and we are the overwhelming choice of drivers and fleets using smart phones in their daily operations. Loved by truckers for our electronic driver log. Known to be the experts in hours of service rules.
- We already have a good network of contacts among regulators and law enforcement and are well-positioned to stay ahead of legislative changes. DOT Proposes Use of Electronic Logbooks to Improve Efficiency, Safety in Commercial Bus & Truck Industries: FMCSA, Mar 13 2014 Companies that operate (interstate) commercial vehicles over 4.5t must have a USDOT Number and are subject to federal safety regulations. Law enforcement officers from various jurisdictional levels enforce the federal rules through roadside inspections. 3 million inspections are performed annually. Companies are assigned a public safety rating (CSA score) based on audits of company records and incident reports. Drivers must log hours of service (HOS) to comply with safety regulations. 80% of drivers still use the paper logbooks. HOS paperwork volume is the 2nd largest after tax filings. (FMCSA, 2014)
- 80% still use paper logs (1 billion every year!) Smartphones and tablets now in the hands of most drivers Up to 4M additional commercial vehicles may be required to record hours of service
- HOS affects ability to operate, and profitability US government intends to mandate use of electronic logging devices (ELDs) in the next year All fleets using paper logs will have to transition to ELD within two years of mandate Driver-friendly technology is a key factor to combating the driver shortage These issues really come down to a question in the minds of fleet operators… Source: “Critical Issues in the Trucking Industry” American Transportation Research Institute, 2014 (Find logo)
- Let’s take a look at today’s long haul trucker. He’s approximately 51 years old, predominantly male and he spends an average of 20 days a month on the road. His cab generally like this guy’s: a kluge of devices: 2 cell phones, navigation devices, laptop with internet stick, iPod, CB Radio He’s spending 30 minutes a day at least doing paperwork He’s sending or receiving 10-20 calls each day AND he’s still spending $20-$80/month on roadside faxing to get payroll, driver logs, POD’s back to the office. BUT – he also spends an average of $40,000/year in over-the-road expenses and he earns typically from $40,000-$100,000 a year if he’s willing to drive a few miles!
- 1. For years drivers have been using paper logs, mailing or faxing to their fleet every day. When we launched only 35% of drivers had a smartphone or tablet available to use in the truck and the “driver of the future” looked like this. Look at all these gadgets–and drivers were still using paper logs. 2. Now, 80% of drivers have a mobile device and they are replacing all those gadgets, and thanks to BigRoad, they are finally ditching paper log books. 3. And it goes beyond the driver. Fleets are adopting mobile and cloud technology. - SaaS is great for small-to-medium fleets. - No IT overhead, no professional services, no barrier to entry - Scales with business An open platform is cheaper, more flexible, and lower risk than proprietary solutions
- There is an App for that! BigRoad takes care of all this mess with one device that simple to use and a fraction of the price!
