00:00 This week’s CCJ Tech Shorts features a new operating system for small and mid-sized fleets, an integration that improves fuel management and a new tool that streamlines dock scheduling.
00:23 TMS provider Trucking Hub has rolled out a new operating system tailored for small and mid-sized fleets.
Trucking Hub’s CEO (Milos Pavlovic) said, "We built Trucking Hub to solve real problems – not create new ones. Most trucking software is built by tech companies, not trucking professionals. We lived the challenges firsthand and designed a system that's powerful but easy to use – so carriers can focus on running their business, not fighting with their software."
The system combines typically disconnected tools. The all-in-one TMS software optimizes dispatch, load management, accounting and fleet efficiency. It includes intelligent fleet management with real-time telematics, AI-powered dashcams, geofencing and automated maintenance tracking. It also offers truck-specific routing, mileage calculations and fuel optimization. It is 100% FMCSA compliant with built-in ELD, IFTA, Drug Consortium, DQF and more at no additional cost. And it provides unlimited talk and SMS with a fully featured VoIP built specifically for the trucking industry.
01:30 Fleet optimization platform Fleetio and FuelMaster by Syntech Systems have integrated to help fleets track, manage and report on-site fuel usage.
FuelMaster's cloud-based system, FMLive, syncs fuel transaction data from the pump directly into Fleetio, eliminating manual entry, reducing reporting errors and providing real-time insights into fuel consumption. This integration equips fleet leaders with the tools to monitor usage, prevent fuel loss and make informed decisions that optimize budgets while keeping essential services running efficiently.
Additional benefits include detailed reporting, fuel fraud detection, simplified forecasting and cost analysis.
02:11 FreightPOP, a provider of transportation management solutions, has launched its newest product: dock scheduling, a tool that allows shippers, carriers and warehouse teams to seamlessly schedule and manage dock appointments.
Key benefits include:
• Enhanced visibility with real-time insights into dock availability and scheduling to help prevent conflicts and delays.
• Improved efficiency with automated scheduling that reduces manual coordination and errors.
• Flexibility with customizable settings that allow businesses to tailor the solution to their unique operational needs.
• And actionable analytics that provide insights into operational trends for continuous improvement.
Key features of the new product include dock capacity management and a calendar view in which users can view scheduled appointments across multiple dock locations and dock doors, providing a comprehensive overview of utilization all on a single interface.
