TruckX’s driver scheduling software includes features that optimize and monitor every aspect of fleet operations. Its ability to schedule rest automatically eliminates the need for critical human tasks, thereby eliminating the risk of mistakes; and allows companies to ensure they stay productive and compliant with federal regulations for how long drivers can work and how often they must rest. These aren’t trivial matters; the HOS rules set the minimum number of hours drivers can operate behind the wheel when the clock is running, and the minimum number of consecutive hours off before they must get rest.

Using real-time telematics data, the software logs its drivers’ activities. It constantly updates its information on which vehicles are where and when – including information about any delays – so that fleet managers can adjust schedules accordingly in response to unplanned events, such as traffic or a breakdown. Telematics systems and continuous electronic monitoring of drivers allow for near-complete control of what drivers do and how: by gathering real-time data on vehicle speeds and direction at any point along the roadway, a delivery service can efficiently and predictably recalculate its route to meet customer demands whenever traffic or a faulty vehicle warrants a rearrangement. This enables the best possible distribution of resources and information throughout the entire network of supply, production, and distribution.
