Morrice Transportation is constantly taking proactive steps to improve the efficiency, productivity and safety of our fleet. One of the ways we accomplish this is our utilization of on-board electronic recording systems which have a proven in-the-field track record of providing valuable information instantly as well as allowing instant communication with drivers. This ultimately allows us to pass cost savings onto our customers as well as ensure consistent and on-time service.
Isaac Satellite Platform
Our system is primarily based around the Isaac series of on-board electronic recorders which provide wireless GPS vehicle tracking as well as constant mobile communication with each driver.
Benefits passed onto customer:
- Lowered operational costs.
- Vehicle Tracking via wireless GPS allows us to know exactly where your shipment is at any given moment, as well as monitor our drivers’ performance and adherence to safety regulations.
- Driver safety is improved through downloadable service manuals and tutorials for drivers.
- Constant two-way communication with each driver.
Performance Monitoring
The Isaac system provides us with a robust set of actionable data which is used to ensure optimal performance of our fleet both in respect to driver performance as well as equipment functionality. By constantly monitoring both aspects we can identify problems with hardware before they are serious as well as correct driver behavior immediately.
- Lower fuel consumption by identifying trends that contribute to excess fuel use.
- Identify driver behaviour related to fuel consumption such as speeding, idling, and over-revving.
- Gain insight into potenital driver safety and maintenance issues.
Automated Hours Tracking
The Isaac system allows us to automate driver hours completely removing the possibility of human error and ensuring lowest costs passed onto the customer.
In-Cab Scanning
In-cab scanning allows us to eliminate wasted time and money on extra stops and paying fees to copy, scan, fax or mail documents. This end-to-end service allows drivers to scan and transmit documents from the cabs of their trucks back to the office, or directly into the customer’s system. In-cab scanning also improves customer satisfaction by reducing manual errors associated with re-typing important information. This includes trip and mileage reports, bills of lading, timesheets, receipts and other critical data.
Benefits passed onto customer:
- Get proof of delivery in minutes instead of days
- Acquire documents instantly
Morrice Transportation’s entire fleet is fully tracked by GPS satellite as well as mobile wireless networks. This redundant and complimentary tracking system ensures that we know where your shipment is in realtime, and allows you to check your shipment’s status through our customer tracing system.
Additionally our communication system allows us to maintain two-way communication with our drivers as well. These systems allow us to closely monitor our drivers and ensure that they are adhering to our strict policies which ultimately saves our customers money by:
- Cutting costs associated with excessive fuel, tire and vehicle wear and excessive idling.
- Accurately predict arrival times for improved customer service.
- Increase driver effectiveness and provide faster delivery and pickups.
