Rand McNally announced that Craig Transportation Company of Perrysburg, Ohio, has selected its TND 760 mobile fleet management devices for roll-out, starting this month. The announcement was made during the Truckload Carriers Association’s 77th annual conference, held March 8-11 in Kissimmee, Fla.
“Rand McNally provided the key measures we were looking for – McLeod integration, truck-specific navigation for our drivers, and E-log capabilities – easily installed at an attractive price,” said Michael Kadin Craig, vice president of safety, maintenance and compliance. “The drivers have reported that the device is very easy to use, with key features available in just a few clicks. Training time has been minimal, and is easily handled with videos provided by Rand McNally.”
Using the TND 760 devices, Craig Transportation expects a significant decrease in processing errors, along with an increase in the speed of information flowing throughout the organization, Craig added.
Craig Transportation Company operates regional, over-the-road dry van equipment along with shuttling and spotting services. Shuttling and spotting requires up to 60 turns per day, generating a significant amount of paperwork to be tracked and managed. By using Workflow, a McLeod Software feature enabled by the TND 760 device, Craig Transportation has developed custom forms for each required step in the process. The forms are activated with minimal driver intervention, or in some cases automatically using geofencing.
Craig Transportation’s company and owner-operator drivers are using Rand McNally’s truck-specific navigation and E-Logs.
“We are happy to be able to offer the option of E-Logs to our fleet.” said Craig. “Our newest drivers are expecting that the company provide an E-log option, as they are coming to us with that experience already, and actually prefer it. E-logs have now become a retention benefit.”
