From preventing collisions to helping drivers do their jobs better, safety technology is working hard for fleet…and comes with unexpected benefits.
Technology has increased a modern truck tire’s useful life, overall fuel efficiency, and rolling resistance as well as helped reduce failures.
Do your homework, calculate for the long haul, and know what your tech and tire lifecycle costs truly are.
With the frequent advancements in technology, changes to fleet operations, and updates in compliance and regulatory issues, it’s important to regularly review your technology solutions.
The future of fleet is a fickle thing, constantly changing with new devel-opments and technologies. The future of accident management is especial-ly being impacted by technology.
Overall, accident rates are continuing a steady rise, with many leaning toward technology in the hope of reducing rates.
There is currently more demand than supply for heavy-duty trucks, which is impacting several vocational fleet industries including retail and food service.
Which of the many new, technological advances are necessary to help truck fleets stay safer on the road, and what are unnecessary distractions?
I believe the driver's license test of today is no longer relevant. New in-vehicle technology is not only impacting the driving experience on a creature-comfort level, but, I believe it is also requiring more technical skill while behind-the-wheel than ever before.
