Update:
2Q07
To date all of
Eagle Transport’s modern fleet is equipped with a state of the art EOBR
(event on board recorder) that was co-developed by Microlise Fleet and
Distribution and Eagle Transport. The value added system allows for
compliance with government mandates and provides Eagle Transport with
the most advanced EOBR system in the market place.

Mobile Workforce Solutions™
Electronic dispatch
is used to transmit delivery/load information to driver using Eagle
Transport enterprise dispatch application and a handheld “mobile data
terminal” (handheld computer). The e-dispatch allows
scheduling of loads dynamically (one load at a time versus a full shift
of work) and gives dispatcher the added benefit responding to market
changes; such as supply/allocation problems and volatile sales
fluctuations.
Customer
Advantages:
Current:
Real-time communications
with drivers using two-way text communications
GPS positioning using
“dots on map” approach to tracking truck and driver activity (secure
tracking of mobile assets and customer cargo)
o
Unplanned stops
o
Stop history
Load Status Updates: using
data entered by drivers at each critical stage of delivery
o
DISP:
indicating load has been e-transmitted to driver using auto-dispatch.
The auto-dispatch allows for load planners to schedule full shift of
deliveries and ONLY send the next load once driver has fully complete
the current load.
o
LOAD:
Proof of collection information that includes products loaded along with
gallons, B.O.L. information, and specific times.
o
UNLD:
Driver has arrived at the designated consignee and completing the
unloading process

Proof of delivery with all pertinent delivery information such as stick
readings by tank and delivery summary along with signature capture using
mobile data terminal
Load status updates will be made available via Eagle
