Trucker Tools Teams Up with EROAD to Enhance Shipment Visibility Data
Summary
The integration is being designed with opt-in permission-based rules which enable drivers and fleets to control data sharing, noted Norm Ellis, president, North America for EROAD. Among the app’s features is a visibility function which, utilizing the embedded GPS capabilities of the driver’s smartphone, provides automated in-transit location updates as frequently as every 15 minutes. “Our overall objective is to continue adding integration partners and services that make it that much more convenient for truckers to provide accurate, comprehensive and timely tracking data, within a secure network, while allowing drivers and fleets to maintain control. In this highly fragmented, capacity constrained market, drivers want “all in one” mobile-based platforms that provide broad connectivity, reduce downtime, and cut down on manual response to shipper and broker requests. The company’s popular driver smartphone app has been downloaded by over 1 million owner operators and small-carrier fleets to access information and services conveniently while on the road.
