Driver management systems are holistic solutions that collect, integrate, and analyze data from many different types of technologies, including vehicle telematics, electronic logging devices (ELDs), and GPS tracking to help fleet managers better manage their drivers and the vehicles they operate. The functionality to monitor driver habits, track hours of service (HOS), compliance, and training and certification are typically built-in.
TruckX combines several advanced components of our driver management systems to create a holistic solution for fleet management. For example, an analysis of the KPIs such as speed, excessive braking, and fuel consumption can be transmitted to fleet managers, who can spot and reduce risky driving behaviors, taking targeted training where it’s needed. This can help reduce the risks of accidents and keep the fleet safe and compliant.
Additionally, TruckX’s systems ensure regulatory compliance by automating the capture of driver hours of service as well as other industry regulations, thereby minimizing the risk of drivers’ hours violations and penalty exposure. The system also provides communication tools that enable drivers and fleet managers to stay connected in real-time, so issues can be quickly identified, and a resolution can be reinforced.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are driver management systems?
Driver management systems are all-in-one systems designed to track, analyze, and control the performance, safety, and compliance of truck drivers.
How do TruckX's driver management systems improve safety?
TruckX’s systems monitor drivers’ speed and harsh braking, then tailor training and reduce risk from collisions.
Can TruckX's systems ensure regulatory compliance?
We automate the logging of all hours of service (HOS) information, among other regulatory compliance data, to allow them to track and monitor real-time adherence, and prevent potential fines that could be imposed by the regulatory authorities.
How do driver management systems benefit fleet operations?
In this way, these types of systems increase operational efficiency, and driver safety, enhance compliance, and boost the retention of drivers, who are becoming increasingly reluctant to be the last line of vehicle safety.
