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.
- Though often viewed as a low tech industry trucking actually has had a pretty long relationship at being at the forefront of technology For instance drivers were using the CB radio before governments had fully developed regulations surrounding their use. By the time the government was prepared to start regulating their use their prevalence in the industry had a strong role in how the government decided to regulate.
- Percentage of smart phone users among drivers has more than doubled in the past 3 years. Drivers already have powerful device with them at all times now both drivers and fleet managers can make use of that technology The vast majority of Americans live in areas with cell coverage. There are still areas not covered but they are in the most remote and sparsely populated areas of the country
- Percentage of smart phone users among drivers has more than doubled in the past 3 years. Drivers already have powerful device with them at all times now both drivers and fleet managers can make use of that technology There is a ton of ways drivers can benefit just by having a smartphone: Complete logs, check traffic, track miles, keep in contact with their dispatcher
