Fikes Truck Line has partnered with uDrove LLC, which provides electronic hours of service solutions and paperwork replacement programs for the transportation industry, to offer a special incentive program for its owner-operators.


Fikes is offering all owner-operators a special 1 percent pay increase for using the uDrove system.

UDrove uses the functionality of a smart phone to provide a simple and easy to use tool for keeping electronic driver logs, tracking mileage for tax purposes, recording fuel and business expenses, and completing DVIRs. In addition, it provides the corporate office real-time visibility to driver paperwork.

"We know change is coming to electronic logs and paperwork. We have the choice to wait until it's a law or get ahead of the curve," said Gary Salisbury, president, Fikes Truck Line. "I personally use uDrove and see how well it will work for our owner-operators. The solution is simple and easy to use and based on my personal experience, I know it will save our owner-operators both time and money."

"UDrove saves our owner-operator customers significant time in completing daily driver logs, inspection reports and managing expenses and receipts," said Joel McGinley, president of uDrove. "Current customers report saving 30-60 minutes a day by using the uDrove smart phone application."

UDrove supports Android, BlackBerry and iPhone smart phones from various manufacturers and wireless providers.

Fikes owner-operators can sign up for uDrove by May 1 and earning 1 percent more through the end of the year.
