"My two biggest expenses are fuel and labor, and as soon as we turned Driver Performance on, the drivers started to see an alert for hard acceleration and hard braking," said Paul. "We gained a 4.2% in fuel mileage because drivers were getting an alert, prompting them to drive safer and more efficiently." Maintenance Made Easy 37 Trucking recently implemented TrackIt's Engine Data Analysis & Alerts (EDAA) feature. The module includes remote diagnostics, alerts, action plans, health and safety scoring, and other actionable vehicle information. They also receive email alerts when there is an issue with a vehicle. The system enables them to have preventive maintenance schedules in place, ensuring they can identify issues quickly and stay current on routine service tasks. They receive an automatic report each morning notifying the mechanics of what vehicles need to be worked on that day, what maintenance is coming due, and what is overdue and needs to be attended to immediately. The EDAA module also enables their mechanics to use discernment for whether or not a vehicle should close up shop, or stay on the road creating more revenue. For example, if a driver calls in to notify the mechanics that their "check engine" light is on, but the issue isn't severe enough for the shop to get notified via email, then they have the ability to quickly make the decision on whether the driver should come by the shop or continue with their orders for the day. Should a truck on the job need servicing, the EDAA functionality can provide a map of the truck's exact location so that dispatch doesn't have to manually track the truck, find it on the phone, drop a pin, etc. They instantly have the truck's location and can come to their rescue. EDAA also provides the fleet management staff TrackIt's Engine Data Analysis & Alerts module monitors fleet health and safety TrackIt with Delivery Cycle Monitoring in use at Ohio Ready Mix.
