Truckload businesses need better routing to save time and money, improve the bottom line, and boost the efficiency of operations. Truck routing has an important role to play as well, as it helps to optimize the delivery schedules by calculating and identifying the most effective routes, as well as taking into consideration traffic, weather, and road conditions, among others. The Fuel-Efficient routes with routing software is one of the key benefits that truck routing management software provide is the reduced consumption of fuel. Frequent long-haul routes will always benefit from avoidance of congested roads and shortening routes, in turn, lowering fuel costs on a per mile basis, as well as the carbon footprint—something that trucking companies can benefit from. Also, state-of-the-art software solutions can amend routes on the go, enabling the drivers to avoid unforeseen delays, construction sites, or accidents. In addition, another major advantage is better industry compliance. N...

Today the trucking industry is experiencing a technological revolution, one where truck telematics companies are leading the charge. They offer real-time data on vehicle performance, driver behavior, fuel consumption and route optimization for fleet operators. Utilizing telematics systems may aid companies in streamlining processes, cutting operating expenditures, and ensuring safety. Truck telematics companies have multiple advantages, such as improved fleet management. Powerful GPS trackers further provide real-time location information to operators, to minimize unauthorized stops, and to refine delivery times. Moreover, telematics data can also show how a driver behaves on the road, such as if they brake too hard or leave the engine idling for too long, so that managers can take steps to keep their driving safe, but also to keep the fleet as a whole more fuel-efficient. The other big benefit, which is offered by truck telematics companies, is predictive maintenance. Telematics ...

Gone are the days of tedious paper logs, as Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) mandatory for most trucks have streamlined the process, ensuring adherence to federal guidelines while maximizing operational efficiency. The ELD trucking is about the automatic recordation of driving hours with respect to paperwork, and the fact that it also automates your HOS (Hours of Service) records. For trucking companies, complying with the ELD mandate is only part of the answer: there are ELD solutions that can improve fleet management beyond simply meeting the law. Dispatchers can ensure the efficient allocation of drivers to routes, track driver performance, and prevent common violations due to excessive driving hours with real-time tracking and automated logs. Moreover, from February 2018, ELD trucking was made mandatory across several states, which means they can help trucks comply with the set regulations, avoiding costly legal issues that might arise from non-compliance. These devices also ...
