About Jerr4

  1. We use ELDs to monitor driver hours and set automated alerts for when they’re nearing their limit. We never push drivers to exceed their hours.
  2. We’ve started using an AI tool that suggests optimal routes and monitors traffic in real-time. It’s been a huge help for after-hours shifts.
  3. We always keep a backup load available or reschedule deliveries first thing in the morning. Communication with drivers and customers is key.
  4. We monitor hours of service closely and encourage drivers to take breaks when necessary. Fatigue management training also helps.
  5. One big challenge is finding service shops that are open 24/7 for repairs. Another is managing driver fatigue during long hauls.
  6. We use automated check-ins via our dispatch software. Drivers can update us with a quick message or location ping.
  7. We rely on Samsara for after-hours dispatching because it integrates with everything we need, including GPS and real-time alerts.
  8. We have a small team dedicated to customer support during after-hours. If it’s something urgent, we escalate it to management.
  9. Regular check-ins and GPS tracking are crucial. We also give drivers a safety checklist for night driving.
  10. We have a dedicated 24/7 roadside assistance service that drivers can call. It’s important to have these services on standby for emergencies.
  11. McLeod Software is great for generating custom reports. You can create reports based on almost any parameter, from fuel costs to delivery times.
  12. I’d recommend Samsara. The GPS tracking is built-in, and it’s incredibly accurate. You can track every truck in real-time.
  13. We use KeepTruckin. It’s easy to learn and has a clean interface, which is great for teams that aren’t very tech-oriented.
  14. Yes, Samsara has a fuel management feature that tracks fuel usage and optimizes routes for better fuel efficiency.
  15. I’d go with Route4Me. It’s excellent for dispatching complex routes with multiple stops, and the optimization features save us a lot of time.
