What is Telematics?

TruckingOffice – #1 Trucking Software For Truckers

The original mandate for electronic logging devices was to track hours of service (HOS) – when truckers were driving and when they were off-duty. The E-logs were to directly connect with the truck engine to track driving time and be able to transmit data immediately for traffic stops. It didn’t take long for ELD manufacturers to develop extras on top of the basics. They could track driving habits, fuel consumption, and even potential engine issues. The data could be analyzed to determine how to be more efficient and profitable.

Once the data was assessed, new instructions could be given to the drivers to save time and money.

This cycle is designed to constantly improve the shipping industry.
