Impacting every aspect of your operations, the biggest issue facing the transportation industry is regulatory compliance. Compliance requirements are in place to ensure the safety of the general public as well as ensuring vehicles are safe. The transportation industry is highly visible in the public eye and the measures are intended to protect people from poorly maintained vehicles and fatigued drivers.
During our most recent webinar, we looked at the rise in readily available trucking technologies and the impact that smartphones and tablets are having on the industry.
This webinar was presented by BigRoad’s co-founder Terry Frey, who highlighted some of the apps that are bringing a new level of affordability to smaller carriers. Ones, that in the past, could not justify spending on costly proprietary technologies.
The latest Android update, 4.0.4, is now available in the Google Play store. Make sure you update to the latest version of the app to take advantage of all the latest features. Here are some of the new features we’ve added since the last BigRoad update.

For a lot of you out there, the changes made a year and a half ago to the 34-hour reset rule have been nothing but a convoluted pain in the neck. Thankfully these rulings, for the time being, have been suspended.
The bill has been passed that effectively rollbacks these provisions. You can once again restart your cycle by taking your 34-hour reset at any time. There is no longer any need to worry that your reset period could last as long as 51 hours. No more waiting once every 168 hours to the second for you next reset. No more inclusion of two 1 – 5 am periods. 34 hours is 34 hours!Read More »Resetting the 34-Hour Reset
