Over 20,000 trucks have contracted to use Maptuit® FleetNav™ to reduce non-revenue miles, while improving customer and driver satisfaction
Burlington, Mass. May 10, 2002
Maptuit Corporation, a leading supplier of dynamic fleet navigation services, today announced that Stevens Transport, Cannon Express, Amhof, CalARK International, Conway Now, Marten Transport, Maverick Transportion and TMC have all chosen to implement FleetNav throughout their fleets.
FleetNav is an innovative directions and routing solution that integrates with existing infrastructure to provide drivers with a least-cost route to the destination, optimizing for miles driven, driver time, and toll costs. Using the position reports from their in-vehicle MobileComm unit, drivers receive directions from their current location to their destination from the convenience of their cab.
"We expect to save man-hours, communication cost and non-revenue miles," said Don Hinson, Vice President of Operations, Marten Transport. "FleetNav directions and routes are on-demand, clear, concise and dynamic which will save the driver from having to call the customer or driver manager for directions clarification. Because they start from the position of the truck as they approach their destination, we expect to save out of route miles. We are moving forward with FleetNav implementation as soon as possible."
"It is a reflection of the quality of our product that these leading national carriers have chosen FleetNav," said Jeff Papows, CEO of Maptuit. "Carriers have made it clear that they need tools to increase their operational efficiency. Our FleetNav solution integrates with our customer's existing hardware and software to reduce out-of-route miles and increase driver safety. The result is a high-value solution that can pay for itself as quickly as by the third day of the month."
