For a limited time, get a SyncUP FLEET device
on us for every line you activate!
The countdown is on – starting December 18, a new federal “Hours
of Service” (HOS) regulation will require an estimated two million
commercial motor vehicle operators to measure and report their time
on the road using an Electronic Logging Device (ELD). Today,
T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) added a new Hours of Service feature to
SyncUP FLEET and announced the Un-carrier’s latest IoT product is
now certified as an ELD by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration to help businesses comply with the new regulation.
Plus, for a limited time, for every SyncUP FLEET line you activate,
you’ll get a SyncUP Fleet device at no cost, via 24 monthly bill
credits ($72 retail value per device).
“Complying with this new regulation is expected to cost
businesses almost a billion dollars every year, but the Un-carrier
is making it easier and more affordable with SyncUP FLEET,” said
Mike Sievert, Chief Operating Officer for T-Mobile. “This is yet
another way the Un-carrier is taking on the Internet of Things …
with an unstoppable nationwide network and a family of incredibly
popular T-Mobile-branded IoT products.”
Every year, commercial drivers in the U.S. cover more than 140
billion miles on the road, with many still tracking their miles by
hand. The new HOS regulation aims to increase road safety by
limiting how long commercial vehicle operators can drive in one
stretch and specifying mandatory breaks, time off and duty
cycles.
SyncUP FLEET now makes it easier for drivers to log all those
miles, automatically recording them in a digital logbook in the
SyncUP FLEET cloud. Managers can then use that info to improve
efficiencies and cut costs.
In addition to giving businesses the data they need to comply
with the HOS mandate, SyncUP FLEET can help businesses:
- Save Time: Fleet managers
can quickly get a bird’s eye view of their entire fleet of vehicles
and make decisions with reports on traffic delays, delivery arrival
times, driver time in location, and more.
- Cut Costs: Businesses can
help cut fuel consumption by analyzing driver routes and idle time,
while regular vehicle maintenance notifications can help prevent
costly repairs with scheduled reports, emails or alerts.
- Increase Driver
Productivity: Customers can track the location of their
vehicles to improve driver productivity and improve driving habits
with regular risk and safety reports.
SyncUP FLEET is the second product in T-Mobile’s SyncUP family
and was designed to deliver low-cost fleet management for
businesses of all sizes – all without the carriers’ sticky annual
service contracts.
SyncUP FLEET is regularly just $3 per month on T-Mobile’s
interest-free 24-month equipment installment plan (EIP) with a $15
per month service plan per vehicle, but for a limited time, get a
free SyncUP FLEET device for every line you activate. And through
the end of March 2018, the HOS feature is included at no cost as
well. Starting April 1, 2018, the HOS feature will be $5 per month
per vehicle.
Customers can add the HOS feature today on their My SyncUP FLEET
portal. For more information about SyncUP FLEET, please call your
