As businesses increasingly leverage technology to optimize their operations, fleet telematics has emerged as a potent instrument for improving driver safety and fleet management.

The integration of telematics data into a transport management system (TMS) can provide valuable insights to fleet managers, allowing them to optimize operations, reduce costs, and stay compliant with safety regulations. With real-time tracking and visibility, telematics devices can improve maintenance and prolong the lifespan of vehicles while also benefiting drivers, dispatch centers, and other stakeholders in the transportation industry. When choosing a telematics system, it's important to consider specific goals and needs, fleet size, connected devices, data types and volume, and level of integration with the TMS.

Telematics and ELDs are powerful tools and even more powerful when used together. Read this blog and learn how to leverage telematics and ELDs for other than compliance.

There are many ways in which ELDs can help insurance companies and carriers have easier and clearer access to information and help transportation insurance activity become more transparent and fair than it is so far. Read this blog to learn how.

To describe what ELD data is used for, we first need to understand what an ELD is and how it is used. An ELD is an electronic logging device that is used by truck drivers to record driving hours of service (HOS) and capture important data about commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). 

Electronic logging devices collect a lot of data, many of which can help consumers adopt more sustainable behavior and create sustainable value chains. Read the latest blog to learn more.

There's negative connotation attached to data sharing. However, a streamlined, all-in-one data sharing platform is the key to sustainable transportation for the trucking industry. Read this latest blog to learn why.

Fraud risk is something every factor must deal with, particularly those that work within the trucking industry. Using a cautionary true tale of factoring fraud, Spencer Mitchell of TruckerCloud explains how technology can help protect against even the most advanced schemes.

FreightWaves covered the latest developments at TruckerCloud, including investment capital, a new CEO, and Instant Carrier Onboarding functionality.

With TruckerCloud’s new, patent-pending technology, carriers can be onboarded instantly. It’s so fast that shippers, brokers and 3PLs can use TruckerCloud’s freight visibility for the spot market, so 100% of their loads can be tracked. Factors can also confirm pickup and dropoff locations of all trucks prior to purchasing invoices.

The biggest challenge in ELD-based freight tracking has traditionally been onboarding carriers. It has been a slow, cumbersome process. TruckerCloud recently launched Instant Carrier Onboarding (patent-pending), which allows brokers/3PLs, shippers, and factors to onboard carriers in a matter of minutes. So these customers can now have visibility into all of their loads.

TruckerCloud has partnered with and received an investment from Rule 1 Ventures. Spencer Mitchell has been named CEO.

Rule 1 Ventures, a venture studio, has co-created a number of startups in the transportation space, including TruckerCloud.

It’s important for factoring companies to be able to verify their clients’ fleet sizes, both when they start a new partnership, and on an ongoing basis. Imagine these scenarios:

FactorCloud factoring software today announced that it has integrated TruckerCloud’s freight visibility data into its platform. ELD-based data pinpointing trucks’ exact location is now available within FactorCloud. Prior to purchasing an invoice from a transportation client, FactorCloud customers can now verify that a load was picked up and delivered at the correct locations and specified timeframes.

Knowing where your carriers are is tricky. You could spend a lot of time making check calls, which may or may not give you accurate information.

Funding fuel advances is risky if you can’t confirm that the carrier is at the pickup location. With TruckerCloud, you can use the truck’s own ELD data to verify that the driver is at the pickup location.

Sometimes detention charges are warranted - but sometimes they aren't. Here's how you can save time investigating and negotiating questionable detention fees.

Our broker customers tell us they’ve been able to improve their customer service and keep their shipper customers happier because of our GeoFence alerts.

Today, there's a better solution to verification calls. Our ELD data allows factors to view accurate location data in real time or retroactively, so they can fund with confidence.
