Organisation Background

JBD LLC is a medium-sized trucking company located in Georgia. JBD LLC has been in the trucking industry for over 15 years, with clients scattered all over the country. Being a traditional trucking company, they followed paper logs, until FMCSA introduced the ELD mandate. Sam Jubidu, the fleet manager for JBD LLC realised that he had to act fast and change the business process with an adept electronic logging system that also helped him with Hours of Service compliance and tracking the location of his vehicles. With these requirements in mind, and the approaching deadline for ELD mandate, Mr. Jubidu reached out to Matrack Incorporation for their comprehensive products and services.

Challenges faced by JBD LLC before opting for Matrack’s ELD:

JBD LLC worked on the traditional way of trucking and maintained paper logs, which we now know are not always a 100% correct and authentic. Mr. Jubidu, in light of the recent FMCSA changes brought by the ELD mandate, wanted to shift to automatic record of driving hours and other relevant information. He also was facing other challenges in the fleet operations:

As the company caters to clients all over the country, the drivers are required to travel long distances for several days in a week. Without proper GPS, it was difficult for Mr. Jubidu to keep a track of all his vehicles correctly. He had to rely on verbal communication that he received from drivers. Also, if any vehicle or driver needed any kind of help, it was impossible for the fleet manager to provide any kind of assistance without have correct information of their actual location.

Traditional trucking companies and drivers maintained all their information and travel records on paper, in several copies. This was a time consuming process; it was also difficult to physically keep them for many years. As the records were manually entered, the information could possibly be incorrect or easily tampered with. Filing for quarterly taxes and other reports also became a tedious job for the fleet manager, who had to personally go through all the information, written on paper, do required calculations and file the reports, by hand.

When FMCSA introduced the ELD mandate, it became pertinent for all trucking companies to opt for approved ELD so that they could comply with hours of service rules as laid down by DoT. Companies who used paper logs were required to move to automatic recording of information though electronic logging devices. FMCSA made it mandatory, and failure to comply would mean severe fines.

Paper logs have always been prone to errors and miscalculations. It also took up a lot of driver’s driving time. The paper logs are manual records, fleet managers could not always trust them and there was zero-transparency in the process. Wrong paper logs would also mean wrong filing of reports, and often result in huge fines. Moreover, during inspection, it was hard for drivers to share the logs with the security officer.

Why JBD LLC chose Matrack’s ELD solution:

Once the ELD mandate was out, the fleet manager at JBD LLC, Sam Jubidu also took upon the task of finding an electronic logging device and fleet management system that would make his job much more efficient and productive. He searched for an ELD provider that also helped him in tracking the location of his vehicles all the time, while also being easy to use. In search for an uncomplicated yet the right solution, Mr. Jubidu came across Matrack Incorporation, and chose to work with us for the following reasons:

Matrack devices are in compliance with the ELD mandate and are approved by FMCSA. They automatically record the relevant data as required under Hours of Service rules by DoT. If a trucking company fails to implement ELDs in all their vehicles, it could mean severe fines and penalties, which can be avoided by FMCSA-approved Matrack ELDs.

Also, in case they need help, they can easily let the fleet manager know their location for faster response.

Matrack ELDs can also track the total number of driving hours, mileage, idle time and more. This helps the fleet manager in identifying the amount of time a vehicle is actually sitting idle, probably at a client’s loading/unloading dock, and can use this information to create a route that is more efficient and uses driver’s driving time optimally.

Sam Jubidu

BD LLC based in Georgia has worked in the transport trucking industry for the last 13 years. When the mandate was given to make the switch from paper logs to electronic logs, Fleet Manager Sam Jubidu knew he had to find a solution; and the solution was Matrack.

HOS compliance with electronics logs

Making the switch from paper logs to electronic logs was a landmark event in the career of all truckers. HOS compliance for trucking companies is crucial to keep both those on the road safe and also to prevent large fines or even potential shut downs. “I was reading when the mandate was given to make the change from paperwork. That’s when I found Matrack on the internet. I use it for logging. Matrack helps us with HOS compliance
