Advancements to FleetNav™ Suite to Aid Trucking Industry In Compliance with HOS
Burlington, Mass. June 22, 2004
Maptuit Corporation, a provider of sophisticated transportation optimization solutions for the trucking industry, today unveiled its vision for its FleetNav Suite in support of the Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations. Advancements to Maptuit's FleetNav Suite will give trucking companies the tools they need to plan, track and manage their drivers' time on the road to maximize driving time while keeping drivers' compliant with new HOS regulations.
“As a state-of-the-art fleet management solution, it is critical that we develop our FleetNav Suite to help the trucking industry stay compliant with the recent changes to the hours of service regulations,” stated Jeff Papows, CEO of Maptuit. “Our engineering team has designed new enhancements to FleetNav, so we can offer our customers a system to help them manage their drivers' time on the road. Our solution is being created to simplify a complex problem and maximizing driving time for our customers' fleet while staying in compliance with HOS regulations.”
With the upcoming integration of the new HOS regulations, Maptuit's FleetNav Suite will be providing fleet managers with the tools needed to plan, track and manage their drivers' time on the road to ensure compliance with the HOS regulation. FleetNav will offer real-time weather, construction and traffic information - allowing fleet managers to make changes to their drivers' routes to keep their fleet running at maximum efficiency. Fleet managers will be able to include drivers needs and preferences within their routes taking into account their driving time, so drivers will receive routes that include planned stops during their off-duty period at locations that include fuel or amenities such as showers and restaurants.
“Maptuit's FleetNav Suite is already providing our customers with the tools they need to monitor their entire fleet throughout their route,” stated Rick Turek, CTO of Maptuit. “We have gone one step further with our vision for FleetNav's inclusion of the HOS regulations into our service. Fleet Managers will have insight to drivers under dispatch 24x7, and be given a set of tools to help determine where their drivers' should be, how to get them there at the least cost, and when their drivers' need to take a break — all within the framework of the HOS regulations.”
Maptuit's FleetNav Suite of tools provides trucking companies with a solution to help increase efficiencies and improve their bottom line through intelligent routing, fuel optimization and fleet monitoring capabilities. These tools enable management of customer locations and monitoring of fleet performance from any computer with Internet access. FleetNav integrates with all leading fleet management and mobile communications systems to provide a comprehensive transportation optimization solution.
