Fatigue management is a crucial aspect of fleet safety, aimed at reducing the risks associated with driver fatigue, which is a leading cause of accidents in the trucking industry. Long hours behind the wheel can lead to drowsiness, slow reaction times, and impaired judgment, putting drivers and the public at risk. Fatigue systems help monitor driver hours, ensure compliance with hours-of-service (HOS) regulations, and provide insights into driver behavior to mitigate related risks.

TruckX’s fatigue management tools are designed to interface with electronic logging devices (ELDs) to track driver hours in real-time and alert fleet managers and drivers when scheduled rest breaks are needed to ensure ELD compliance. By automating these processes, the company promises to simplify the management of driver shifts and prevent accidents caused by driver.

In addition to tracking hours, TruckX monitors driver behavior, such as ‘heavy lane deviations or jerkiness’ that might indicate fatigue. This can manage fatigue before it becomes an issue, allowing fleet managers to intervene early – ensuring their drivers are well-rested, and fit for duty – so that fleets can enhance safety and minimize liability and its effects on driver health.
