CINCINNATI -- PeopleNet has introduced two new service offerings to help trucking fleets better use technology to improve safety and compliance, especially designed to deal with the CSA 2010 initiative and growing demand for electronic onboard recorders.

COO Brian McLaughlin made the announcement at the National Private Truck Council annual conference. Essentially, PeopleNet is bundling a set of safety solutions into a lower-cost package for customers who are looking to venture into the world of safety technology.

Peoplenet's EOBR (electronic onboard recorder) is compliant with current safety regulations and will remain compliant under the recent FMCSA EOBR final rule, 395.16. The EOBR bundle is a low-cost fleet management offering with eDriver Logs that enables fleets to electronically log driver hours of service and fully comply with hours of service regulations.

Its CSA 2010 bundle is a more comprehensive approach to meeting safety goals. It focuses on electronic logs, because five of the top 10 most frequently cited violations in 2009 were hours of service related, McLaughlin notes. But n addition to eDriver Logs, the CSA 2010 bundle includes other safety applications such as Onboard Event Recording, Speedgauge, engine fault code monitoring, speed alarms and more.

Under CSA 2010, carriers and drivers will be assessed on the most recent 24 months of on-road performance and crash data using the new Safety Measurement System. The system is designed to identify unsafe driver behavior earlier. "Carriers who currently don't have EOBR or onboard technology will find these bundles essential for ensuring compliance and avoiding scrutiny by FMCSA's expanding radar," he said. "We are so confident that we can impact a customer's CSA 2010 score that we guarantee results." If the PeopleNet system doesn't improve the company's CSA 2010 score, the customer pays nothing.
