Despite the drastic technological progress, many companies in trucking and logistics are yet to harness the power of tech. However, some are leading the way and changing how trucking is done. Companies like R&A Trucking are incorporating both hardware and software technologies to deliver quicker, accurate, safer, and more efficient services. Below are some technologies implemented by R&A and how you can benefit from them.
1. Dynamic Routing
In trucking and fleet operations, the route you take plays a key role in delivering goods successfully. To plan the route better and deliver your items on time, R&A utilizes dynamic routing. This technology uses real-time GPS data to help their truck drivers find a quicker route, go around traffic, and avoid routes with bad weather. This ensures your orders arrive on time every time.
2. Driver Scorecarding
To ensure your goods are delivered on time, in the right way, and in perfect shape, R&A uses driver scorecard technology. This technology monitors a driver’s actions behind the wheel, records them, and assesses the performance. This information helps the company to assign drivers the routes they are more comfortable with, thus reducing the chances of a collision and keeping the driver and your cargo safe.
3. Data Analytics
R&A utilizes data analytics when making decisions. They gather the data from their daily operations. This information helps them to get insights into supply and demand forecasts, enforce safety measures, perform machine and truck diagnostics, reduce operational costs, and increase turnaround times.
4. Eco-Friendly Solutions
Our company is mindful of our planet, that’s why we always look for technologies that can make a positive impact on the environment. Apart from route optimization, which minimizes our emissions, we are seriously considering going electric to make our services greener. In fact, we have already tested Tesla’s futuristic, battery-powered big rig. Although it’s still in development, this heavy-duty electric truck can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, drastically minimize maintenance costs, and save our precious planet.
