For fleets complying with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, new requirements are approaching for electronic onboard recorders (EOBRs). Fleets that fall under the FMCSA qualifications will have to purchase an electronic Hours of Service solution. This investment can be a lot more than the basics on hours worked and downtime. GPS tracking software can be integrated with EOBRs to bring much more to fleet managers – powerful location data, exception alerts, and in-depth paperless reports customized to company objectives and that accompany FMCSA compliance.
Finding the right Hours of Service solution for your fleet can facilitate compliance with current and future FMCSA rules, prompting pre- and post-trip inspections, and provide superior log editing tied into FMCSA compliance and enhanced in-house audits of changes to electronic driver logs. A GPS tracking solution can be coupled with FMCSA rule changes to bring fleets a lot more – a customizable dashboard interface to oversee all feet activity; advanced mapping to view or find certain vehicle, drivers, or the entire fleet; and fuel card integration to monitor all transactions and identify fuel fraud. Read more about the ways the new EOBR and GPS fleet tracking are working together.
