Continental Carriers Achieves 100% Driver Transparency with Matrack
TRY FOR FREEOrganisation Background
Continental Carriers is a logistic company based in Fresno, California. It is a medium sized trucking company, dealing with clients all over the country. Its Fleet Manager, Mr. Prem Sodhi had decided to engage assistance from Matrack Incorporations for electronic Logging Device solution.
- Most records were kept in paper, making it tedious and time-consuming to find relevant information and file required reports with the authorities. Filing for taxes, insurance, quarterly state reports and all calculations pertaining to these reports had to be done manually.
- As the drivers were also required to maintain their driving records, mileage, fuel usage, driving hours, and more, in paper logs, the data thus recorded was not completely authentic and error-free. The data was also required to be maintained in several copies so that it could be furnished to the safety inspector, whenever required. Also, it was difficult for the fleet manager to ensure that the drivers adhered to the rules of Hours of Service as laid down by the DoT and FMCSA.
- Like every other logistic company, the drivers at Continental Carriers also travelled across state borders, which means calculation of fuel tax had to be done manually.
- For a fleet manager, it was difficult to know the exact time a commercial motor vehicle spent idling, or at the loading/unloading docks, or if the driver had not deviated for the prearranged travel route.
- When FMCSA rolled out the ELD mandate, many carriers and trucking companies were worried that the drivers in their fleet and other employees might find it difficult to adapt to modern technology as it could be complicated for them to understand and operate.
- FMCSA compliant: All Matrack ELD hardware are approved by FMCSA and strictly comply with Department of transports regulations regarding Hours of Service. Our devices record accurate data for on and off duty hours, thereby avoiding any violation of HoS.
- Authentic data: As all data is recorded automatically by our ELD devices, and the device itself is tamper-free, the authenticity of such information is intact and error-free.
- Taxes and reports: Matrack ELD solution is a two-fold process. The data is recorded by the hardware device, while such data is collected and analysed by our smart fleet management software. As per the requirement of the user, the system can generate important reports, including calculation of IFTA tax, in a timely manner.
- Installation and usage: Matrack ELDs are exceptionally simple to install, and can be done without any expert help. Our hardware and the software system is designed to work seamlessly and is user-friendly. As most of the data is recorded automatically, driver, staff, or fleet manager need to only input minimal instructions, making Matrack’s ELDs the simplest device to operate. There is no need for expert training in handling our devices and software.
- Accessibility: Our FMS can be easily downloaded on any device, through which any authorised person can access information of location, mileage, drivers on duty, and much more.
- Service: We also have one of the most proactive service staff to assist our clients in every way we can. Our customer support team is available 24 hours throughout the year.
