Trucking as a profession is changing fast. Although the concept of telematics has been around for a while, technologies surrounding it have been prohibitively expensive for smaller carriers. This has lead to the vast majority of trucking industry being slow to adopt new technologies. However, we are now entering a post-telematics age of trucking and about to see the rise of connected drivers.
Join BigRoad’s Product Marketing Manager, Lee Payne, on May 6th for our next webinar. During this session, he will be talking about how to prepare for the electronic logging devices (ELD) mandate.
September 30th, and the final ruling mandating electronic logging devices (ELD), is quickly approaching. Is your fleet prepared?
Although there will be a two-year period before compliance to the new ruling, carriers are planning their move to electronic logging today. You can benefit now from improved CSA scores, hours of service compliance and operating costs, and it’s become easier than ever to get started.
Recently we held a webinar focusing on how changes to hours of service regulations and the ELD mandate will affect the motorcoach industry.
On January 30th the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) along with online driver training company, CarriersEdge, released their annual list of the Best Fleets to Drive For. The list, in it’s seventh year, recognizes those companies that provide their employees an outstanding place to work.
To make the list, companies have to be nominated by a driver or owner operator that works for them and they must have 10 or more trucks in their fleet. Once nominated, these companies are scored on a many different criteria taking any aspects of their business into consideration. These include such things as salaries, health benefits, career advancement, driver turnover, fleet safety score as well as a slew of other factors.

We are really starting to rack up the miles on the BigRoad pickup truck. After our stop in New Orleans, it’s been slowly winding its way back up north. The truck has made stops in Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, Kansas City, Omaha, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Green Bay, Chicago and Peoria.
We stopped over in Peoria for the Mid-West Truck and Trailer Show, which was held February 6th and 7th. It was fantastic to once again be a part of this event. Not only were we exhibiting again, but this time we also presented two seminars about electronic logging.
At BigRoad, we are driven by keeping our eyes honed-in on the future of the transportation industry. This focus is aided by the ability to work closely with some of most forward-thinking carriers in the industry.
Over the years, we have built some very strong relationships with companies that pride themselves on innovation in their respective fields. In the spirit of giving back, we’d like to share their success stories and show you some of the measures they have taken to improve safety and compliance in their companies.
Join us for our latest webinar March 11, 2:00 – 3:00 pm EST as we take a look at some of the latest options for in-cab technology.
