Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC), a leading provider of decision support & optimization software for the truckload carrier, welcomes Oakley Transport, Inc. as a new customer of the Trip Alert® exception and event monitoring software solution. Oakley Transport, Inc. is a leading truckload carrier specializing in liquid food grade delivery providing services to 48 states as well as Canada and Mexico. Oakley Transport, Inc. is also an IDSC Expert Fuel® fuel optimization customer.
"We chose IDSC's Trip Alert solution for the added level of customer service we can offer to our customers. We can dynamically monitor our entire fleet 24/7 and notify our customers of early, on-time or delayed delivery," said Joe Pivacco, IS Director for Oakley Transport, Inc. "We also look forward to significant cost savings by reducing out-of-route miles and improving driver time-at-home with the swap capabilities."
Trip Alert monitors the power unit along the entire trip ensuring that the driver is taking the most efficient and safe route to the customer. Managers have visual status of their entire fleet at-a-glance coupled with the ability to zoom in on a specific power unit. Dynamic and static geofencing along with historical and real-time reporting capabilities offer the information necessary to optimize driver and fleet performance. Trip Alert is fully-integrated to dispatch, mobile communications, and leading routing systems that generate HazMat and 53 ft. trailer compatible routes. Trip Alert evaluates dispatched power units and flags any out-of-route or projected late and instantly notifies the dispatcher or fleet manager. Considered in the determination of Trip Alert are capacity (single/team), average vehicle speed, available DOT hours to drive, current location/date/time, planned route and schedule. Trip Alert also identifies swap candidates which allow the dispatcher to exchange loads in-transit in order to minimize service failures while maximizing equipment utilization and driver time at home.
"Trip Alert not only provides global visibility of capacity and best-in-class exception and event management--it also increases driver time-at-home without impacting profit potential. Trip Alert automatically identifies the locations and times when two power units will be feasible to swap load assignments. Trip Alert recommends those swap opportunities which improve utilization, on time performance, and driver home time. Trip Alert provides built-in capabilities to identify candidates for in-transit swaps--leveraging the data to maximize driver and equipment utilization, prevent service failures, and increase driver time at home," said Dave Harris, VP of Sales for IDSC.
