Major Industry Trends & IssuesA Brief Review

An ELD, is an electronic device which allows drivers to remain compliant with Hours of Service (HOS) requirements for drive time restrictions.
A new proposed regulation will reportedly require all commercial motor vehicles to operate with an ELD installed.
The proposed regulation was sent to the White House Office of management and Budget earlier this year and “anticipated to be published later this year”, different than the November 8th date previously announced.
The regulation will reportedly call for ELD’s to be implemented within the next 2 years.

Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA)
CSA is an automated system that quantifies motor carrier on-road safety performance based on Behavioral Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs).
Continued poor CSA performance can result in the shutdown of trucking operation.
This is a new regulation that started in 2010.

Driver Shortage
Stricter safety rules combined with an insufficient number of new drivers entering the workforce has created a driver shortage
More than 90 percent of truck drivers leave in their first year, either to go to a competitor, start another career, or are fired*
Costs of recruiting new drivers are increasing – some fleets are spending over $5000/driver in recruitment and advertising costs*
Increasingly, fleets are often forced to hire less experienced drivers
Shortage potentially 30,000 drivers by end of 2014*
Drivers are now like “Free Agents”

ELD Technology Breakdown
Confidential and Proprietary. Copyright© Rand McNally 2013.
At a core level, ELD’s utilize 5 critical pieces of technology These include:
On-board Computing – The device must be able to run software applications
Display Device – An ELD system must provides a user interface for the driver so they can record duty status information, certify their daily logs, and show law enforcement
GPS – Detects vehicle position by listening to global positioning satellites
Vehicle Diagnostics- Detects engine activity and odometer via a connection to the trucks diagnostic system (J1708/1939)
Wireless Communications – Transmits information to a back-end system to store and retain data
ELD Technology = Mobile Communications Technology8

Due to the new ELD regulations, the critical question facing carriers is no longer:
“Do I adopt the technology?”
“Invest In a Platform – Not a Product”
It is “You Cannot Afford To Wait”
With the right ELD system, you will effectively have a full mobile communications platform

Location visibility improves asset utilization and minimizes deadhead
miles
Know when assets arrive at their destination and
how long they remain on site
11
Out of Route Driving Detection
Confidential and Proprietary. Copyright© Rand McNally 2013.
10% of miles driven are out of route
(OOR)
Be aware of when off route driving occurs and take
immediate action
12
Electronic Hours of Service
Confidential and Proprietary. Copyright© Rand McNally 2013.
Eliminate costs of paper log books (~$3/mo) and gain
30 minutes per day of productivity from the
driver
Simultaneously improve CSA scores while also
dispatching more efficiently.
13
Truck Navigation

Reduce the stress of driving in unfamiliar areas
Navigation has become a create comfort for many drivers and has
proven to be an effective retention tool
Avoid costly fines from driving on roads where commercial trucks are
not permitted
14
2-Way Email Communication

Improve command and control by streamlining the
flow of communications between driver, dispatchers
and customers
Maximize the ratio of drivers to dispatchers by automating basic tasks
and looking at issues on an exception basis

Accident / Critical Event Detection & Alerting
Proactively monitor emergency events as they happen to
ensure
Identify driving behaviors such as following too close behind
other vehicles
16
Driver & Vehicle Performance Monitoring
Confidential and Proprietary. Copyright© Rand McNally 2013.
Provide a fair standard for measuring driver performance.
Let drivers see their own performance in real time. Try the carrot first, then use the
stick with respect to performance incentives.
Understand where your fuel is being used. How much does idling, speeding, improper
shifting cost in gallons?
17
Remote Diagnostics / Vehicle Fault Code Detection
Confidential and Proprietary. Copyright© Rand McNally 2013.
Detect mechanical issues remotely through fault code
alerts. Schedule maintenance proactively.
Roadside breakdowns typically cost more than $500 per
incident. That does not factor in the opportunity cost of the
asset or customer issues
The ROI of the system is in the hands of the managers who set company policy
Fleets that aggressively deploy the technology typically pay back the initial investment within 6 months
Getting the maximum ROI is usually not an overnight process – set realistic but escalating goals throughout the first year of deploying the system
Simply knowing your metrics is a great place to start. Is there a problem? If so where is at and what is driving it?
Target the low hanging fruit first – Idling, Speeding, Hours of Service, off route driving are easy to track and identify.
As the organization becomes more experienced with the system, begin to mine the mountains of data that is available

Other Benefits of EOBR Technology
Automate manual processes like Fuel Tax FMCSA now recognizes modems as
Transponders enabling an ELD to work for Pre-Clearance Bypass.
Turn administration into analysis - less time on the phone or manually tracking data
Maximize the drivers time by reducing paperwork related to VIR and HOS
Free up dispatcher time providing routes/directions
Provide better customer service by having immediate access to information such as vehicle location and ETA.
