Automated Vehicle Location:

Know where your vehicles are in real time.

Features: Take the guesswork out of knowing where your vehicles are. Using GPS and wireless data communications, the onboard computer (OBC) automatically sends vehicle locations to our server at intervals that you specify. Using your Web browser, you can get a map showing the location of every vehicle in your company, or a group of vehicles that you have defined.

Find the closest vehicle to a customer location instantly. Simply type the address into your browser and eTRUCK will give you a list of the vehicles closest to that location.

BENEFITS: Dispatch your vehicles more efficiently. Reduce out-of-route miles, save fuel and vehicle wear.

DOT Hours of Service:

Track driver availability in real time.

Features: Find out if your drivers have reached their maximum allowed hours before assigning them to shifts. The onboard computer uses the J1708 engine interface to automatically track driving versus non-driving hours as soon as a driver logs in. The driver can switch to break or sleeper status by simply touching a button on the screen. All data is transmitted to the site using our wireless data link every time a driver completes a stop.

Get a complete breakdown of driving, on-duty non-driving, and sleeper hours by driver and date. Download this data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for input into payroll.

BENEFITS Keep in compliance with DOT regulations. Facilitate compilation of payroll data.

Fuel Taxes:

Automate collection of fuel tax information.

Features: Collect data for your fuel taxes automatically. The eTRUCK system automatically detects state-line crossings and provides accurate mileage information. The simple fueling screen allows the driver to enter gallons, price, and a reference number at all fueling stops. All data is transmitted back to the Web site using the wireless data link.

The fuel tax report shows each fueling stop and gives a complete breakdown of mileage by vehicle, date, and state. You can also download this data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for further manipulation and analysis.

BENEFITS Reduce the clerical work involved in compiling fuel tax data. Track fuel purchasing patterns in order to reduce costs.
