SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today that its FieldMaster Logs application has
been registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) as a self-certified Electronic Logging
Device (ELD) solution.
FieldMaster Logs adds Hours of Service (HOS) and Driver Vehicle
Inspection Report (DVIR) functionality as part of its robust Fleet
Management portfolio. In order to prevent driver fatigue and reduce
accidents, the FMCSA's HOS rules restrict the number of hours a
driver may operate his/her vehicle. Trimble's FieldMaster Logs
tracks driver activity, provides clear communication to the driver
about hours remaining and gives robust reports to managers to
measure their driver's activity and availability. Using FieldMaster
Log's DVIR features ensure that drivers perform safety inspections
of their vehicle and that vehicle issues are captured and
communicated to the maintenance team.
Trimble's Fleet Management portfolio offers reliable hardware
and software solutions for capturing vehicle positions, tracking
driver behavior and communicating with the vehicle's engine bus to
obtain diagnostic information. Monitoring these activities allows
carriers to reduce fuel costs and improve driver safety.
"Trimble's FieldMaster Logs application allows companies to
improve productivity, profitability and most importantly, driver
safety for our partners," said John
Cameron, general manager of Trimble's Field Service
Management Division. "We're pleased to announce that our solution
meets the FMCSA's requirements for tracking HOS and DVIR
activities, well in advance of the mandate's deadline."
In 2016, the FMCSA mandated that carriers who do not already
have an Automatic Onboard Recording Device (AOBRD) installed on
their vehicles must install a certified ELD solution by
December 18, 2017. In addition, those
vehicles that do have installed AOBRDs must replace them with
certified ELDs by December 17,
2019.
