MiX Telematics said the platform can help fleets save fuel, improve utilization, reduce paperwork, prevent crashes, and cut maintenance and repair expenses.
“Regulatory compliance for hazmat has always been challenging, and will become even more so with the upcoming ELD mandate,” said Skip Kinford, president and CEO of MiX Telematics Americas. “MiX Telematicss' fleet management solution can help ensure compliance with state and federal regulations while improving safety and reducing operations costs.”
