How fleets can use ELDs to improve preventive maintenance

From Fleet Owner.

For some fleets, the sole purpose of investing in an electronic logging device (ELD) is to track driving time in compliance with the hours of service (HOS) regulations. However, some ELDs are capable of collecting a much broader array of vehicle data that can help the fleet in additional ways.

“There are many other benefits a good ELD can provide,” says Scott Sutarik, vice president of commercial vehicle solutions for Geotab, a provider of GPS fleet tracking devices and fleet management software. “Those benefits include saving time and money by cutting down on paperwork, reducing administration costs, increasing fleet efficiency, providing real-time access to information, and helping improve safety ratings.”

ELDs can also help fleets improve their preventive maintenance activities.
