The Challenge
Sierra Mountain Express, an automotive hauler with a fleet size of 260 vehicles, was an early adopter of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). They had been using Rand McNally's ELD for years. However, when Rand McNally required a hardware change, Sierra Mountain Express decided to explore other options in the ELD market. Their goal was to find a modern, easy-to-use solution at a fair price. They evaluated five different ELDs before deciding on KeepTruckin.
About The Customer
Sierra Mountain Express is an automotive hauler based in El Dorado Hills, California. The company has a fleet size of 260 vehicles. They were early adopters of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and had been using Rand McNally's ELD for years. However, they were not completely satisfied with the service, especially when a hardware change was required. They were looking for a modern, easy-to-use solution at a fair price.
The Solution
Sierra Mountain Express chose KeepTruckin as their new ELD provider. The decision was based on KeepTruckin's simplicity and ease of use. The drivers loved the new system, and the back office staff found it much easier to manage. KeepTruckin also provided excellent support, which was a significant improvement over their previous provider. The support was available 24/7, and they could immediately get on the line with a representative. KeepTruckin also offered training to anyone in the company, not just one person. This made the transition to the new system much smoother.
