Time to ditch the paper logbook and make driving easier and safer!
Take away the guesswork and manage driver fatigue and work scheduling based on actual hours per day.
Benefits of an Electronic Logbook
An electronic logbook speeds up roadside inspections
Without an electronic logbook, roadside inspections can be a tedious affair. Drivers must sort through handwritten paper driver logs and search for possible errors or hours of service violations.
With the DRIVETIME NZ app, inspectors can easily view the log and search for possible violations.
Since electronic logbooks also help reduce errors or violations, you not only save valuable time, but you also save money through reduced fines!
An electronic logbook eliminates errors
Typically, commercial truck drivers aren’t a fan of physical paperwork. Keeping track of paper documents can become a real headache for drivers—which ultimately distracts them from the road.
An electronic logbook automates hours of service compliance processes. This automation ensures that the logs are free of error, correctly totalled and signed by the driver.
With electronic logbooks, your drivers can focus on the road instead of worrying about their paper logs.
Easier compliance with the law – and safer driving
Existing rules require commercial drivers take a half-hour break after driving for 5.5 hours and to not drive for more than 13 hours in any 24-hour period. They must also take a 24-hour break after being on duty for 70 hours.
In contrast to paper-based forms, the DRIVETIME NZ Electronic Logbook can capture work, rest and other logbook data more accurately in real time. The application can also automatically generate alerts for drivers about their rest breaks and impending violations. It will help you as an operator proactively and effectively manage the safety and performance of your drivers.
By switching from the old paper logbooks, you’re decreasing environmental waste paper and ink pollution. The savings of going paperless extends beyond just the cost of the paper, which can be substantial.
The cost of other office supplies like ink cartridges also decreases. Additional upgrades or replacements to expensive office equipment such as copiers and fax machines may also decrease in a paperless office.
In addition to a paperless environment, it may also mean less energy consumption. Businesses use less energy when printers, faxes, and copiers are inactive.
