Industry Challenge

Fleets lose millions of dollars annually due to roadside inspections and out-of-service vehicle violations.

A majority of these violations relate to improper or incomplete inspection of vehicle and safety conditions including brakes, tires, lights, steering, suspensions, transmission, etc. Many of these inspections result in out-of-service violations, which severely affects supply chain optimization, freight delivery times, customer service, revenue, driver turnover.

Traditional training for pre-trip inspections typically requires use of an actual truck and trailer and a significant amount of space and availability of equipment to do so. Ability to generate random abnormal conditions to challenge drivers to identify and properly report faults on virtual truck and trailer without damaging equipment. Optimized, cost-effective tool to help train drivers on proper vehicle inspections.
