HDT and Fleetmatics Partner on ELD Webinar
By December 18, 2017, commercial drivers will be federally mandated to manage and log their Hours of Service (HOS) digitally and automatically with an Electronic Logging Device (ELD). Fleetmatics, A Verizon Company and Heavy Duty Trucking (HDT) magazine have partnered to help companies prepare for the ELD mandate deadline by hosting an open webinar on August 29, 2017. Countdown to ELD: Getting Your Burning Questions Answered is an opportunity for companies and industry experts to discuss common compliance concerns and confusion about the upcoming ELD mandate.
During the webinar, content will be presented in an open forum format, enabling attendees to bring their ELD questions and concerns to a panel of experts and their peers, for thoughtful discussions. Topics will include technical, operational and legal requirements, as well as common automatic on-board recording device (AOBRD) related questions and concerns. Panel experts include Deborah Lockridge, editor-in-chief of Heavy Duty Trucking magazine, Kelly Frey, vice president, product marketing for Fleetmatics and Avery Wise, president of TransComply.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) ELD requirements are intended to help allow for a safer, easier and faster way of accurately tracking and managing records of duty status (RODS), and minimize human error of completing daily HOS logs by hand. Any commercial motor vehicle carrier or driver subject to the ELD rule must be electronically recording hours of service by the deadline, and the companies that employ them will need to purchase and integrate an ELD solution by the same deadline.
"We're creating a community of drivers and companies that are all sharing a common goal of getting an ELD solution in place before December," said Fleetmatics' Frey. "There's still a lot of confusion and uncertainty out there about the ELD mandate and having the opportunity to chat through ...Read the rest of this story

Arizona Adds Drivewyze Weigh Station Bypass Service
The Arizona Department of Transportation has added Drivewyze weigh station bypass service at eight ports of entry near the state's borders with California, New Mexico, and Utah.
Since Drivewyze can read weight data transmitted from WIM sensors embedded in pavement as the truck passes over them, the state uses weight readings as part of its bypass criteria at five ports of entry located on U.S. Interstates 10, 15, and 40. Of the eight locations where Drivewyze is offered, five are located on interstates that cross the Arizona/California border - I-8, I-10, and I-40. The remaining three are located on I-15, Arizona State Route 68 and U.S. Highway 93
“With Drivewyze now live in Arizona and California, drivers traveling east from Long Beach and California's Central Valley into Arizona and beyond have continuous bypass opportunities all along the way,” said Brian Heath, president and CEO of Drivewyze. “Drivewyze offers fleets an unbeatable competitive advantage over carriers using a transponder-based bypass service, or no service at all. That's important because fleets certainly can't afford to let their competitors' drivers get more bypasses.”
With the addition of Arizona and North Dakota, Drivewyze offers bypass opportunities at almost 700 locations in nearly every state in the Lower 48 and in the province of Alberta.
The Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass application comes pre-loaded on in-cab telematics and ELD devices like Omnitracs, PeopleNet, Rand McNally, and Zonar. Fleets can turn on a free analytics weigh station loss reporting tool to help them determine how much Drivewyze can potentially save them before activating the subscription-based weigh station bypass service. The application is also available for Android and iOS-based tablets or smartphones.
