A recent case study has found M.B.H. Trucking has greatly benefited from from trucking and logistics software products, which made data storage for the company easier and more efficient.
"Everything was stored in my brain, including rates," said Brian Hitchcock, founder of M.B.H. Trucking. "I knew the trucking industry inside and out; it was like knowing where my keys were in my car. It was very important for me to find a program that could handle all of the information that we needed to add to it and even more important for my staff to work well with the program."
The software also aids the trucking company with fleet management, giving M.B.H. Trucking a place to store log information for its truckers, as well as data for when the trucks need to be serviced for things such as oil changes or tire rotations.
Another bit of technology trucking companies can use to improve their fleet management is a new product launched by Ortec and Xata, Ortec Mobile, which is advanced routing and scheduling software.
Computer technology is not only aiding trucking companies with fleet management, but is also facilitating new ways that truckers can receive necessary CDL training, thanks to quality online courses.
