Empire Express Cuts HOS Variances with Rand McNally E-Logs
After implementing Rand McNally’s TPC 7600 devices, part of the company’s suite of mobile fleet management solutions, Empire Express, a Hazmat and high-value freight specialist operating 200 units out of Memphis, Tenn., is reporting increased compliance with Hours of Service rules.
Empire Express always has had an excellent long-term safety record in the industry; however the company wanted to refine its processes by implementing electronic onboard devices. In addition to HOS tracking, Empire Express managers wanted a solution that would assist with vehicle tracking and provide time-of-arrival information to help the company deliver on its mission of serving customers who have time-sensitive deliveries and/or safety-sensitive products.
According to Tim Gatlin, President and CEO, Empire Express, the company search for a business partner to provide data that was easy to manage and use across multiple departments, as well as to integrate with technology already in place such as McLeod Software’s windows-based transportation management software.
Empire Express also needed to find a solution that would provide an intuitive, easy-to-understand driver experience. “Rand McNally just really stood out from the first conversation,” said Gatlin. “Rand McNally’s world-class service has continued even after the sale. After fully implementing the TPC 7600 solution, our potential hours of service variances have been virtually eliminated – down to one- half of one percent. The customizable reporting tools have provided additional insight into our business, and our drivers have begun to realize the efficiencies gained from using electronic logs.”
