Business Wire
Transflo, a leader in enterprise mobility, telematics, and
business process automation for the transportation industry, is
introducing its next-generation telematics and electronic logging
device (ELD) solution to fleets and owner-operators affiliated with
Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ: WERN), one of the five largest
truckload carriers in the United States.
Werner executives are implementing a program that makes the
next-generation Transflo Telematics solution available to more than
12,000 carriers at Werner Logistics, a diversified portfolio that
includes truck brokerage, freight management, intermodal,
international, and final mile services.
The new program allows small fleets to quickly move from
manually recording time logs on paper to having them automatically
recorded on their smartphone. The electronic logging device is
connected to the engine of the truck and transmits driving data,
populating the electronic logs in the Transflo mobile app.
“For smaller fleets, it was important to refer them to an
FMCSA-registered electronic logging device that uses newer
technology and makes the driver experience simple,” shares Matthew
Parry, Senior Vice President of Logistics at Werner Enterprises.
“The Transflo ELD plugs in quickly, has a clean interface, and is
affordable. Those attributes, together with driver familiarity of
Transflo solutions, make this device well-suited for the
program.”
Trucking companies choose one of two plans available with the
Transflo Telematics solution. The first is the Standard ELD plan
that addresses hours-of-service (HOS) and electronic logging
compliance needs. Carriers access driver vehicle inspection reports
(DVIR) and data for international fuel tax agreement (IFTA)
filings.
These carriers can also choose the Fleet Telematics plan, which
includes all of the features of the Standard ELD plan plus more
detailed reporting and analytics accessible through cloud-based
software. With detailed vehicle diagnostics, engine idling and fuel
consumption insights, and safety notifications, the
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution helps heavy-duty truck
operators better manage their revenue-producing assets.
“We’re helping small fleets and owner-operators with adoption
and compliance in many ways,” said Mitch Hixon, Vice President of
Sales at Transflo. “Werner’s logistics carriers benefit from our
new technology, and the brokerage arm benefits from using capacity
that is compliant with ELD regulations. The program addresses a few
supply chain challenges at the same time.”
Werner Enterprises and its divisions have received multiple
transportation and logistics awards and have been recognized by
leading industry publications. The company is listed as a Transport
Topics Top 100 For-hire Carrier and Top 50 Logistics Company.
Werner also utilizes Transflo’s mobile and document capture
solutions.
