Now, synchronization between the back office to the cab is made possible with ALK’s latest capability – RouteSync. RouteSync sends the planned PC*MILER route directly to an on-board device running CoPilot Truck. This synchronization helps to maintain route compliance, ensure operational consistency, and reduce non-revenue mileage.

Since the inception of EOBRs (Electronic On-Board Recorders), much debate has been made over whether these devices are invading a driver’s personal space or if it is a compliance necessity for any fleet.
The subject of EOBRs and hours-of-service compliance technologies will be one of the many hot industry topics addressed at the 2012 ALK Transportation Technology Summit. Hear industry expert speakers from Qualcomm, Xata Corporation, PeopleNet, and J.J. Keller and Associates, Inc. about EOBRs and compliance. Discuss your opinions on this controversial topic and hear what your peers are doing to stay safe and compliant. For more information on the Summit and to learn what else will be discussed at this thought leader symposium, please click here.
Some additional EOBR information below directly from the article, ATA files brief in support of FMCSA on EOBR challenge, from Fleetowner.com:
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has defended the electronic logging devices, and now has the support of the American Trucking Association (ATA) when they filed an amicus brief on February 24, 2012 with the U.S. Court of Appeals.
ATA’s President and CEO Bill Graves said, “Thousands of responsible, safety-minded truck fleets throughout this country voluntarily use this technology to ensure their drivers are complying with federal hours-of-service requirements. The court should dismiss this challenge and reaffirm the longstanding authorization to voluntarily use electronic logging devices while FMCSA works toward addressing questions about a future, wider mandate for their use.”
