Benefits of the HOS247 GPS Tracking System 

At HOS247, we focus on providing quality services for truckers to help them grow their business and achieve their goals. Our fleet management vehicle tracking system is part of this effort as it gives managers the big picture of their fleet’s conditions and location, and it delivers added benefits such as:

  • Integrated with ELD. If your fleet conducts interstate commerce, your drivers are most likely subject to the ELD mandate. HOS247 offers an integrated elog solution to achieve FMCSA compliance and prevent HOS violations. 
  • 4G technology. GPS 4G systems allow for better and faster connectivity than 3G. On top of that, mobile carriers will soon shut down their 3G network, so making the switch to 4G before it happens is advisable.
  • Quality customer support. HOS247 offers top-rated support. You can call our line any day of the week and get help from our knowledgeable reps in English, Spanish, Polish, or Russian. We have a call back policy in place to follow up with you even if the call drops.
  • Intuitive interface. The fleet manager portal is user-friendly. Managers have full visibility of the fleet and instant access to the data collected at the tip of their fingers.
  • Dependable hardware. HOS247 offers plug-n-play hardware that can be installed by your staff or hidden hardwired devices to prevent tampering and allow recovery in case of theft. Both are made with high-quality materials for optimal performance and reduced possibility of breakdowns. 
  • Extra features. The GPS tracker is enhanced with extra features that bring added value, such as idling monitoring, fault code detection, preventative maintenance, and optimized dispatch.
  • Flexibility. Fleets’ needs change and providers should accommodate that. Our solutions are customizable, so they can be scaled up or down over time. 

HOS247 All-In-One Vehicle Fleet Management System 

HOS247 offers an all-in-one fleet management system to improve trucking operations and safety. Our customers range from owner-operators to large fleets and our plans can be customized to fit each one’s needs. Apart from electronic logging devices and GPS trackers, our services include:

  • IFTA mileage calculations. Reduce workload by automating complex calculations. The device relies on the truck’s odometer to produce IFTA mileage traveled per jurisdiction. Apart from making the process more efficient, it makes it more accurate and reduces the risk of being audited. 
  • Vehicle maintenance. Drivers are the first to know their vehicle’s maintenance needs. Driver vehicle inspection reports are an effective way for them to communicate any issue they identify to fleet managers so it can be taken care of and prevent downtime. The system will also produce reminders of preventative maintenance such as oil changes.  
  • Fault code detection. The device can diagnose issues with the engine thanks to the connection to the ECM to avoid more serious issues and being put out of service.
  • Automated idle tracking. Idling causes fuel wastage and reduces the engine’s lifespan. Identifying idling occurrences helps fleet managers correct the behavior, increase productivity and even reduce the fleet’s carbon footprint.

Ways ELDs Can Help Your Business

The first and most important benefit of an efficient elog is compliance. Drivers subject to the ELD mandate cannot do their job without one of these devices. However, there are many other upsides to adopting this technology. Let’s take a look at the main ways electronic logbooks can improve trucking operations:

  • Streamlined operations. Automated processes improve fleet productivity, reduce workload for fleet managers, and facilitate dispatch.
  • Longer vehicle lifespan. Electronic logbooks come with features that contribute to proper fleet maintenance and better driver behavior to expand trucks’ useful lives. 
  • Reduced liabilities. In case of accidents, ELD data can serve as evidence to protect drivers and carriers during a lawsuit.
  • Higher profits. Lower fuel wastage, higher security, lower insurance premiums and many other derived benefits of elogs translate to higher profit margins for companies that use them.
