PeopleNet® (www.peoplenetonline.com), a Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) Company and leading provider of fleet mobility technology, today announced that Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc. (FRTL) will install PeopleNet technology in its fleet of nearly 500 trucks.
Jacksonville-based FRTL transports petroleum and other liquid and dry bulk commodities throughout the southeastern United States. FRTL currently operates 21 terminals and has a network of more than 700 drivers. As part of its continued growth, FRTL looked for technology solutions that could help increase efficiencies and improve their bottom line.
One of FRTL's primary reasons for choosing PeopleNet was its Tanker Workflow. This customized workflow automates time-consuming paperwork and integrates information in real time throughout a fleet's operation.
"Prior to implementing PeopleNet's technology, we had a very manual method of delivering petroleum," said Jim Anderson, Vice President of Safety & Risk Management for FRTL. "With PeopleNet's Tanker Workflow, we have automated our process to deliver the right amount of product each time, which not only increases the accuracy in our billing but also reduces the risk of overfilling customer storage tanks."
In addition to solutions that increase automation, FRTL drivers will also be equipped with the PeopleNet ConnectedTablet™ ruggedized tablet. This mobile computer is designed to operate both within the typical in-cab environment and outside the cab, so drivers can use the tablet throughout the job site without having to repeatedly climb in and out of the truck.
"We want to equip our drivers with the latest and greatest technology," said Anderson. "With PeopleNet, our individual drivers have access to solutions that make their jobs easier and allow our entire fleet to work more efficiently."
