US: VPC Freight Solutions fleet equipped with ELD's

VPC Freight Solutions, LLC has announced that its truck fleet is now equipped with ELD’s (Electronic Logging Devices), which will be required by the US Department of Transportation by the second half of 2016. ELD’s installed in interstate commercial trucks will ensure compliance with safety rules that govern the number of hours a driver can work. The early transition to E-logs will also allow VPC Freight Solutions to remain competitive and maintain its premium customer service.

Per Steve Day, Sales Manager for VPC Freight Solutions, “ E – logs are now an essential piece of technology that will be mandated to be in all commercial trucks in the near future. With the integration of E – logs to our fleet, we will chauffeur in a new era of safety and it will assist in driver and company accountability. Think of E- logs not just as electronic log books, but also they function as a GPS, Navigation and email. Essentially a small office located inside the cab of a truck, ready to transmit pertinent information”.

The USDOT law has four basic parts: (1) The requirement to use ELDs, (2) Protections against driver harassment (3) Hardware specifications for the devices and (4) Hours-of-service related supporting documents drivers must continue to carry after the mandate. “It was a priority to get these systems in our trucks and have our drivers fully trained prior to the law going into effect. As our drivers learn how to navigate these new systems, they will also improve their productivity and help us manage the cost of doing business” said Daniel Holmes, General Manager for VPC Freight Solutions.

VPC Freight Solutions specializes in refrigerated transportation in the south western portion of the United States.
