One key advantage to the move to ELDs is that it greatly eases a fleet’s ability to collect data that can be used to improve operations. In this event, we’ll describe the top Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that all fleet managers should be tracking, and how they can be used to improve Safety, Efficiency and Compliance. We’ll also describe how US fleets are leveraging KPIs to create robust driver scorecards and drive measurable improvements in all three areas.Price: $25.00
Avoid Repair Disasters with This Simple Rule
By John Wolford, Vice President of Business Process, Quality, and Sourcing, The CEI Group, Inc.
Do you let your drivers decide where they get their vehicles repaired after an accident? If so, you may be opening the door to repair disasters, like:

• Inferior parts.
• Overlooked damage.
• Prolonged downtime.
• Storage costs you could avoid.
• Limited recourse.

Automakers have improved the fuel economy of some of their most popular models: Subaru has redesigned the transmission of its Outback; Mazda has new engine technology; Toyota has precisely controlled the timing of engine valves with electric motors in the Camry; Chevrolet has switched to a smaller engine in the Malibu and Ford's F-150 is 700 pounds lighter with high-strength aluminum.
"The Trump administration may go even further than automakers want and freeze the standards entirely at model year 2021 levels, according to an early draft of the proposed rules. If that proposal is finalized, automakers will no longer be required to invest in new fuel-saving technologies after the next few years."
