Valley Distribution, one of American Midwest's leading distributors of automotive, fleet and industrial lubricants, has chosen Safefreight for its GPS fleet security and safety system, according to a PRWeb news report. The system will be installed in its trucks, tank trailers and dry vans. The system, SmartFleet, offers real-time tracking of rolling assets, hazmat fleet security and management of state mileage reports.
Based in Cedar Rapids IA, Valley Distribution is a distributor of Exxon-Mobil products. In addition to this, Valley Distribution also offers a waste management service for customers who are looking to generate used oil, used oil filters and antifreeze.
"We deliver product to customers across the Midwest, so knowing the location of our rigs helps us ensure that we can get product delivered right away. Since we haul used bulk oil in tank trailers and flammable lubricants in dry vans, installation of SmartFleet gives me piece of mind that we can respond to any hazmat safety or security issue right away," Ken Reif, President of Valley Distribution, was quoted as saying in the report. "We evaluated a number of products, but the one with the best value for the functionality provided was SmartFleet," added Reif.
Establised in 1998, Safefreight develops and delivers security-enhanced fleet management technology. The SmartFleet system offers complete truck security and fleet visibility with the help of proprietary technology - a web-based GPS vehicle tracking and fleet management software application. The GPS fleet management technology also offers situational awareness of trucks, dry van and tank trailers. Additionally, it provides the tools required by fleet managers to minimize risk, such as those associated with the transportation of hazardous materials.
Safefreight’s Technology – the fleet management solution – is quite robust and offers visibility whenever and wherever customers demand. The solution offers the company’s clients the ability to manage their trucks, and other transport vehicles more efficiently. It offers tools for the following tasks:
· Determining and providing accurate delivery times
· Supporting driver safety
· Optimizing security
· Minimizing operating costs
With the company’s fleet management software - SmartFleet Manager – paper driver trip reports are no longer required for registering state mileage. An automated system, it calculates state mileage reports for each state, resulting in accurate determination of fuel tax credits. In addition to this, integration of the fuel usage reporting service simplifies the process of filing claims for rebates on fuel tax.
