WATERLOO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bemidji Bus Line has chosen BigRoad – A Fleet Complete Company as their compliance partner, allowing their fleet of deluxe motorcoach drivers to work seamlessly under one solution.
“We needed a solution that could allow our drivers to switch between just tracking their hours-of-service or running an electronic logging device,” notes Phil Cox, Safety and Compliance Manager at Bemidji Bus Line. “We looked at other options, but most providers required our entire fleet to run ELDs. There was no flexibility for passenger carriers whose compliance rules change depending on the vehicle or length of trip.”
Bemidji tried another ELD solution but found their product did not live up to their promises. Within months, they reached out to BigRoad to test out the BigRoad Mobile App, BigRoad Web App, and DashLink ELD. The difference was astounding. BigRoad’s solution was able to accommodate Bemidji’s needs without issue.
The DashLink ELD creates accurate and reliable electronic driver logs through real-time location tracking. It pairs with the BigRoad Mobile App, an intuitive electronic logbook, through a Bluetooth connection. Within the app, drivers can choose to connect to the Dashlink ELD or just use the electronic logbook without engine-connection, ensuring that they are always compliant.
Both the DashLink ELD and the BigRoad Mobile App push drivers’ data to the cloud, allowing office staff to use the BigRoad Web App to access information in real-time. “The BigRoad Web App has made it so much easier for our dispatchers to track safety and compliance,” Cox shares. “If we see a driver is at risk of a violation, we can send them a quick message in the two-way messenger to review their logs. Since switching to BigRoad, we have significantly improved our hours-of-service compliance and reduced form-and-manner errors.“
“With the ability to support a variety of fleets, drivers, and different compliance requirements, our solution is the top choice for ELD mandate compliance,” added Jake McGuire, Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success at BigRoad. “Our solution is specifically designed to make the day-to-day routines of drivers and dispatchers easier - and all at a competitive price.”
