Summer is the busiest season for delivery fleets, but rising temperatures bring more than just discomfort. Heat fatigue is a serious safety concern that slows reaction times, distracts drivers, and ultimately causes costly delivery delays. With added challenges like road construction, traffic, and safeguarding high-value cargo, fleet managers need solutions that protect drivers and keep shipments moving.
Pedigree Technologies helps you tackle these challenges head-on with proactive fleet monitoring.
Here’s how:
1. Safeguard Drivers with Alerts and AI Camera Monitoring
Fatigue-related incidents don’t just endanger drivers; they put shipments and timelines at risk. Pedigree’s AI-powered CameraView solutions identify signs of driver fatigue or distraction, sending instant feedback to keep drivers alert and safe on the road.
2. Stay Compliant and On Schedule
Road construction, detours, and heavy traffic can extend travel times. Our compliance and routing tools help fleets stay within regulations while avoiding unnecessary downtime. Integrated messaging ensures drivers are always informed of changes, so deliveries stay on schedule.
3. Protect Cargo with Reefer Monitoring
Temperature-sensitive deliveries can’t wait. Pedigree’s monitoring of trailer temperature and humidity helps prevent spoilage and loss. Alerts notify drivers and dispatchers of any temperature deviations, so corrective action happens immediately, keeping cargo fresh and customers satisfied. Alerts also reduce the mental load on drivers, freeing them to stay focused on the road instead of worrying about trailer conditions.
4. Reduce Breakdowns with Preventative Maintenance
Hot pavement and long idle times can strain equipment, but avoiding breakdowns keeps drivers from being stranded in extreme heat; reducing both fatigue and stress. With Pedigree, you’ll receive proactive alerts based on vehicle data to address issues before they become breakdowns. Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) further reduce risks and boost fuel efficiency by tracking the tires' PSI and temperature.
5. Gain Visibility with Asset Tracking and Fuel Insights
Managing multiple assets and trailers is easier with GPS tracking and detailed fuel reports. You’ll know where your vehicles and equipment are, how they’re performing, and where to cut wasted fuel costs, even in stop-and-go traffic. Clear visibility into assets and routes eliminates guesswork, so drivers stay focused and avoid unnecessary stress in hot, demanding conditions.
The Bottom Line: Safer Drivers, Reliable Deliveries
When the heat is on, proactive monitoring makes all the difference. Pedigree’s fleet solutions empower you to protect drivers, preserve cargo, and keep deliveries on time; no matter the temperature.
