BigRoad is excited to announce that ASF Intermodal has selected BigRoad's DashLink electronic logging device (ELD) to achieve ELD mandate compliance. Their fleet of 500 owner-operators drove the decision, choosing the driver-friendly solution over the competition.

With so many products promising ELD mandate compliance flooding the market, a lot of owner-operators are left wondering what these tools do, and which one(s) they they need to do to comply with the law. 

A driver's compliance with hours-of-service (HOS) regulations can affect your fleet's Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA) score and insurance premiums. Improve your fleet's safety score by helping your drivers' improve their HOS compliance with these useful tips. 

When you're out on the road for long stretches of time – away from home and family – trucking can be an exhausting and lonely job. Many truckers cope by bringing a furry friend along for the ride. In fact, more than 60% of OTR drivers own pets, while 40% take their pets on runs. Truckers with pets say that they are happier, healthier and better drivers because of their companions. How could a pet benefit you?

Most fleets and drivers don't know that the use of automatic onboard recording devices (AOBRDs) have been grandfathered under the ELD mandate. Fleets using them now can continue to use AOBRDs until December 16, 2019 before transitioning to an electronic logging device (ELD). Learn more about AOBRDs and why should fleets get them before the mandate deadline.

As any driver, especially OTR truckers, knows – how your rear end meets your seat for long periods of time can make all the difference. A good fit is a joy, a bad fit means constant pain. Proper seat positioning can save you from having back issues like sciatica, muscle degeneration, even heart disease. So what does healthy driving posture looks like?

With so many hats to wear, most owner-operators don't have time to study the 500+ page ELD mandate document to discover what exactly they need to know. That's why we held a webinar to help you simplify the ELD mandate and find out exactly what you need to know to stay ahead of the law.
