Keys & Benefits I. What Product and Why? II. Potential Benefits: 1. Improve Fleet Safety 2. Heighten Customer Service 3. Maximize Asset Utilization 4. Increase Profitability III. The Future of Onboard Technology
What Product and Why? 1. What services are you looking for? Safety, Customer Service, Utilization, Performance 2. What region do you run in? Cell Service vs Satellite or a Hybrid. 3. How quickly do you need the data? Daily or by the minute. 4. Is it compatible with current software? Does the onboard technology communicate with your current trucking software. 5. Is it user friendly?! Driver buy is huge
What Product and Why? FOOD FOR THOUGHT: September 30, 2015, FMCSA/DOT is looking to once again make ELD mandatory by law and carriers will have 2 years to become compliant. It s really not a matter of IF anymore.it s WHEN.
Potential Benefits - Improve Fleet Safety 1. Electronic Logs Real time monitoring of drivers logs. 2. Electronic DVIR Real time monitoring of mechanical defects. 3. Critical Event Monitoring Real time notice of a hard brake application. 4. Speed Monitoring Monitoring driver speed daily and in real time. 5. SOS Emergency response with one button notification.
Improve Fleet Safety FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The top ten CSA violations in 2013 included log violations; drivers record of duty status not being current, and false reports of driver s record of-duty status. Top Driver Violations 1. Log-form and manner 2. Record of duty status not current 3. No medical certificate in possession 4. Non-English speaking driver 5. Speeding 6-10 mph over limit 6. Failing to use seat belt 7. 14-hour violation 8. Failure to obey traffic control device 9. False record of duty status 10. Expired medical examiners certificate
Potential Benefits - Heighten Customer Service 1. Tracking Real time data to make quick decisions. 2. Geo-Fencing Quickly locate support equipment. 3. In-Cab Scanning Quicker response time with customer required paper work. 4. Timely Data Nothing worse then when you have to tell a customer that you don t know where your truck is!
Heighten Customer Service FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Show of hands!
Potential Benefits - Maximize Asset Utilization 1. Everything from Improve Fleet Safety HOS Maximize your drivers hours. DVIR Less downtime; responding to defects quicker. Critical event notification/sos responding quicker and therefore getting back in service quicker. Speed Monitoring Less accidents due to increased awareness. 2. In-Cab Scanning Less off route miles trying to send in paperwork. 3. Truck Routing Software Less off route miles with drivers being lost. 4. Stronger Compliance Less time at compliance check points. 5. Driver Performance Reporting Maximizing hours, fuel, compliance standard and behavior.
Maximize Asset Utilization FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Onboard Technology can save drivers 20 to 40 minutes a day by cutting down the time spend preparing for departures and roadside inspections, tending to form and manner details and other tasks. That adds up to about 50 hours a year on average.
Potential Benefits Increase Profitability 1. Everything from Maximize Asset Utilization Safety, scanning, routing, compliance and performance. 2. Fuel Consumption Analyzing idle time, speed, over rpm and shifting. 3. Streamlining Reporting, Paperwork and Documentation Reduce back office work - scanning logs, reviewing for errors, copying 4. In-Cab Scanning Getting your POD s sent quicker leads to stronger cash flow.
Increase Profitability FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Efficient drivers can get approximately 30% better mileage per gallon than their least efficient colleagues. The average long-haul truck uses over US$3,700 (CDN$4,500) of fuel per year idling. Fuel economy decreases by half a mile per gallon for every five miles per hour in excess of 55 mi/h (88.5 km/h).
The Future 1. Live Video Feed It s here, just need to make it cost efficient. 2. Monitoring Drivers Vitals This can be done through watch technology. 3. Trucks Driving by Themselves The Freightliner Inspiration Truck!
