Staffing Shortages Have Impacted Various Industries, The Transportation Industry Is No Different
The pandemic has truly shown the power of the trucking industry in the United States, as it accounts for the transportation of nearly 70% of domestic goods. These goods include medical supplies and groceries that are saving lives.
However, the pandemic has also shown the discrepancy between minimum-wage rates and the cost of living. This, paired with various other root causes, has led many Americans to quit their jobs in favor of higher pay and better treatment, to choose not to return to the workforce until conditions improve, or also head into early retirement.
Early Retirement Causing Labor Shortage
Many of the people seeking early retirement are Baby Boomers, and, as the most populated generation, the younger generations are not replacing their spots in the workforce at the same pace. This leads us to a labor shortage in the trucking industry which further exacerbates the current supply chain issues.
To overcome the labor shortage and speed up the supply chain, fleet managers can benefit from implementing an overall asset tracking solution to every asset in their fleet such as trailer, equipment, and even also adding trucking dash cams with GPS tracking from CallPass.
How Advanced Could-Based Telematics
Products Can Help Fleet Managers
GPS Tracking for Trailers
Knowing the location of each trailer in the fleet allows you to increase the productivity of the trucks and drivers you have. Optimizing each trailer you own/manage allows you to maximize your ROI and ensure you are able to elevate your overall productivity. Know exactly when a load is arriving so you can have staff on hand for pick-up a delivery to get the trailer redeployed with faster transit cycle times. Being able to easily identify where a trailer is located helps ensure that the asset is being utilized to its fullest potential as you also increase operational efficiencies. Such as identifying nearby pickups for certain trucks already on the road in real-time to make the most of a truck’s trip, saving valuable time.
Trailer/Container Camera Systems
LANA Vision, the cutting-edge trailer tracking and cargo monitoring solution is the optimal device for making the best use of your trailers but also your strained staff. Cameras and sensors inside your box trailer allow you to have a clear view of exactly what’s going on and where. At any time, you can see exactly what and how much cargo is loaded into your trailers and/or containers.
This powerful technology transforms your haul management and allows you to weather the storm during this staffing shortage by optimizing routes and ensuring each load is transported to the fullest extent. Easily see if there’s room for more in the trailer, and ensure that what leaves your location is what arrives at the destination. LANA Vision, paired with the LANA Asset Platform, is further proof of CallPass’s continued efforts to provide industry-leading solutions that can enhance the operational efficiencies of businesses of all sizes.
Dashboard Cameras
We all behave better when we know we’re being watched and the same is true for truck drivers. Constant monitoring from dash cams inside the cab improves driving behaviors and leads to fewer accidents. When an accident does occur, you have video evidence for insurance or legal purposes, and you can also use the footage as training material. Serving an integral addition to your overall fleet management, advanced AI dash cams such as CallPass’s LANA Dash Cam, provide real-time video and GPS tracking that empowers your operations while protecting your drivers and bottom line.
