Drivers have their limits. When they push beyond those limits, they can endanger themselves, your equipment, and other people on the road. That’s why the federal government created rules covering how much time commercial drivers can spend behind the wheel.
HOS compliance is also a key factor in determining your CSA scores, which can also impact your insurance rates. That’s why it’s smart to use every available tool to maintain high scores.
What’s the Impact?
Here are a few questions to consider as you research possible solutions to solve this challenge:
Is your business at risk of getting cited or suspended from not having electronic logs?
Are your driver logs often inaccurate?
Do drivers and dispatchers have difficulty understanding the HOS regulations?
CSA Score
When your CSA score can identify you as a high risk, you might need some ideas for lowering it. High scores for your organization indicate high scores for your drivers, which also speaks volumes about your culture of safety.
The FMCSA looks at seven categories of behavior in compiling CSA scores: unsafe driving, crash indicators, HOS compliance, vehicle maintenance, controlled substances/alcohol, and driver fitness.
What’s the Impact?
Here are a few questions to consider as you research possible solutions to solve this challenge:
Are CSA scores impacting your insurance rates?
How are CSA scores affecting your revenue?
How often do you evaluate your vehicles’ maintenance?
IFTA Reporting
Some drivers still rely on stacks of paper logs to fill out their IFTA report. GPS solutions can put an end to hours wasted on that time-consuming process.
GPS Insight customers can use tablets to streamline this process. Drivers can also use a tablet in their cab to display how many hours are left on their shift.
What’s the Impact?
Here are a few questions to consider as you research possible solutions to solve this challenge:
Do employees spend too many hours filing IFTA reports manually?
Are your IFTA reports often filed late?
Do you have difficult logging personal or unloading miles?
FSMA Temperature Monitoring
Transporting food is a race against time. Being able to control a shipment’s temperature helps get food to its destination in top condition. Still, it’s not always a given that everything will go according to plan.
That’s why we have the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), an FDA law that requires transportation companies to store data about their shipments. This helps assess what happened when a shipment didn’t arrive in the top condition.
What’s the Impact?
Here are a few questions to consider as you research possible solutions to solve this challenge:
Do you need to know the temperature of goods while in transport?
Are you experiencing trouble with spoiled shipments?
Would it help to know if temperatures exceed specific thresholds in your trailers?
