Cartasite, a global leader in technologies that deliver real-time insights and predictive analytics to help businesses ensure the safety, security and efficiency of their operations, announces the certification of driveTIME, its hours of service (HOS) electronic logging device (ELD) solution. driveTIME satisfies all rules in the mandate set forth by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT’s) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The mandate regulates the use of ELDs that serve as a replacement for paper logs currently used to record driver compliance with HOS.
“Our commitment is to deliver technology solutions that help our customers streamline operations without sacrificing safety and security,” commented David Armitage, Cartasite CEO. “With driveTIME, the burden of regulatory compliance and paperwork goes away, enabling our customers to focus on keeping their drivers safe on the road.”
driveTIME includes integration of Cartasite’s ROVR, the world’s leading driver safety and behavior monitoring platform that has proven remarkably effective in lowering crash rates in some of the world’s largest commercial fleets.
driveTIME feeds data wirelessly to the Cloud and is integrated into Cartasite’s worldVIEW dashboard. The web application gives fleet managers an up-to-date, online dashboard of drivers’ logs and remaining hours, allowing them to audit compliance and allocate jobs based on availability. The solution automates the production of documents required during roadside inspections by safety and law enforcement officers.
“Our customers emphasized the importance of an effective pre-trip inspection that could be tailored to their fleet,” noted David Armitage. “Many of the other HOS systems only offer a canned, generic driver-vehicle inspection report (DVIR) form, so we made customization a standard feature of our solution.” driveTIME’s customizable DVIR offers a driver-to-mechanic workflow with pre-, post- and ad hoc inspection options for vehicles and trailers. Drivers can quickly flag items as pass or fail, add notes and pictures and prioritize which items most urgently require the attention of a mechanic.
The plug-and-play, tablet-based solution runs on Android tablets and smartphones and communicates wirelessly to an ELD that plugs into the engine computer interface (either J1939 or OBDII). driveTIME is compliant with all U.S. federal, state and Canadian regulations. HOS regulatory exemptions are supported, including those for the oil field. As with all Cartasite solutions, driveTIME customers are backed by a renowned Customer Success team for implementation and ongoing support. For more information, visit www.cartasite.com/drivetime.
