Golden State Express is ELD Compliant with Matrack

Reliable GPS

While looking for a comprehensive solution for all the fleet management issues as well as better operational efficiency, JT could not let the budget go overboard. He wanted a solution that was custom built for his needs, and value for money. He did not want a solution whose price would be more than the benefits to his trucking business.

ELD Compliance

As FMCSA has introduced the ELD Mandate, JT also wanted a device that would be compliant with the mandate rules. He wanted to make a shift from his ABORDs to ELD compliant GPS devices. A comprehensive ELD solution that automatically recorded Hours of Service, and helped in avoidance of unnecessary fines due to violations, while also recording real time location of the vehicles was what Golden State Express needed.

Accurate HOS Records

A lot of time from any driver’s permitted hours of driving for a particular day is often spent waiting at loading and unloading docks, thereby cutting short the allowed number of hours a driver can actually drive. In such scenarios, it is important that idle or wait time is accurately recorded so that the driver can work properly for the rest of the hours. A correct account of the number of driving hours and mileage helped in accurate calculation of quarterly taxes, which also was challenging for JT as he could not depend on the data manually recorded by the drivers.

Costing

While looking for a comprehensive solution for all the fleet management issues as well as better operational efficiency, JT could not let the budget go overboard. He wanted a solution that was custom built for his needs, and value for money. He did not want a solution whose price would be more than the benefits to his trucking business.

Complete Compliance:

All Matrack devices are completely compliant with FMCSA, DoT and ELD mandates. The GPS supported Electronic Logging Devices are approved by FMCSA, as well. Thus by choosing Matrack’s ELD, Golden State Express fulfils one of the basic demands of the ELD mandate, and avoids violation of its rules.

Easy Implementation:

As soon as FMCSA declared their rules under the ELD mandate, many fleet management and trucking companies were involved in a race against time in successful implementation of the mandate. Matrack ELD solutions comprise of a hardware device and a software system, and both are designed to be extremely simple to install and use.

Strong GPS:

Matrack GPS (ELD enabled) devices are compact in size, durable, easy to connect, and come with Bluetooth features to ensure continuous and regular connectivity. Location data is recorded in real-time, helping drivers and fleet managers in keeping a track of their vehicles, cargo, and more.

The Fleet Management System:

Matrack’s devices including ELDs come with an intelligent and smart fleet management system which assists in recording historical data and easy retrieval of it, creating alerts and notification for various events such as maintenance, driver training, GeoFence, driving behavior (speeding, hard braking, so on) and more.

Hours of Service:

One of the biggest reasons that FMCSA brought the ELD mandate was to guarantee the safety of drivers and avoid them from working unnecessarily long hours. As paper logs were manually recorded by the drivers, it was difficult to actually calculate the correct driving hours. Through Matrack ELD, a fleet manager can also get a true idea of how much time a vehicle has spent idling at a clients’ docks and the actual driving time.

Matrack Incorporation has one of the best service staff in the entire industry.

Pricing:

JT chose Matrack devices as we offered him cutting-edge technology at a very competitive price, which was a perfect fit for Golden State Express’s requirements.

Location Tracking

As they usually transport produce, our device has helped them in keeping up with their delivery time and satisfying their clients with their services.

Filing of Tax

The fleet manager now has all authentic and un-tampered information on driving hours, mileage and fuel consumption, that has helped him in correctly filling for taxes and other documentation, thereby avoiding any violations.

Route Management

Knowing how much time a vehicle is going to take in loading or unloading the cargo helped the company in creating better routes that were efficient as well as time saving, while also using the best of driver’s allowed working hours. They are now able to plan ahead and adjust routes and times to make the best use of their resources.

Support

As the drivers at this company often travelled longer routes, there were several instances where they needed technical support. With Matrack, the drivers can get immediate help and answers to their queries as our support team is functional throughout the day, all-round the year. This helped them minimise the time spent in resolving any issue and get back to their assigned duty.
