Make it easy for drivers to submit paperwork electronically
“We have McLeod’s DocumentPower imaging system so drivers can use the McLeod Driver App to capture and submit bills of lading. As soon as they deliver a load, they take a picture of the BOL and send it in to us. They don’t have to go to a scanner at a truck stop.”
Give drivers the ability to communicate away from the cab
“The McLeod Driver App also allows drivers to be connected to their mobile comm unit while away from the cab. They could be in a truck stop or at home or anywhere when a message comes through to their mobile comm unit. They can see this message on their phone through the App. This just simplifies life for them.”
Use integrated hours of service data to plan more effectively
“We have our mobile comm system integrate with LoadMaster so our dispatchers have easy access to each driver’s HOS data. This is integrated into our planning screens and our driver management screens, so we can better plan their hours.”
Let a seasoned professional coach the drivers
“Some of the people on our staff who collect driver performance data are just out of college, but we’ve learned that it’s not the best idea to have a 22-year-old college grad telling a 40-year-old truck driver how to drive the truck. Instead we have a driver coach who has credibility in the fleet and when drivers hear from him, most of the time I think they appreciate the advice.”
Use McLeod’s Detention module to manage detention
“The McLeod Detention module helps us manage detention and minimize the negative impact on our drivers. We’re alerted when detention is occurring, so we can take active steps to help our drivers get loaded or unloaded. Our drivers know we are actively fighting detention on their behalf.”
Make it a good job
“These guys stay out five days a week. They shower in a public place and sleep in the truck. They get treated disrespectfully by people at every turn. You need to pay someone well to put up with all that.”
