ELDs automatically record driving hours to ensure regulatory compliance and reduce paperwork.

3. Telematics

Telematics systems collect data on engine health, fuel efficiency, and driver performance, helping reduce maintenance costs and improve safety.

4. Mobile Apps for Drivers

Truck drivers now use apps for navigation, finding nearby services, logging expenses, and communicating with dispatchers.

Conclusion

The trucking industry is becoming more connected and data-driven. Companies that embrace these technologies will lead the way in efficiency, compliance, and customer satisfaction.
