Hermann Southwest Transportation Adds Qualcomm Fleet Management Systems

With the Qualcomm best-in-class fleet management set of tools Hermann is streamlining operations through the electronic automation of truck driver logs including arrival and departure shipping data. The systems also help manage and remediate performance related to CSA scoring methodology for reduced inspections and interventions.

“With Qualcomm our drivers can focus on their highest priority which is transporting loads safely and efficiently,” said Jeff Hermann of Hermann Services. “It will give our fleet managers and dispatchers immediate access to driver availability and safety-audit reports, which will increase the efficiency of our operations. And it will help our company remain fully compliant with the latest electronic on-board recording regulations of the FMCSA.”

Hermann’s Qualcomm-enabled trucks are now able to message dispatch in real-time with shipping information, mechanical problems, and other issues for dispatch to proactively and swiftly rectify any situation. Drivers can also automatically maintain hours of service logs and vehicle inspection reports using voice recognition communications. The system’s on-board navigation includes custom routing for 53′ trailers, twins, and Hazmat classes. Other driver safety features include points of interest for truck services, stops, rest areas, and weight stations.
