BOSTON, Mass. (PRWEB) December 16, 2015 -- LinkeDrive, Inc., a leading provider of mobile solutions for increasing new levels of fuel efficiency, driver retention and safety to the transportation industry, today announced that Transpro Burgener is expanding its use of LinkeDrive’s PedalCoach® application from standalone devices supplied by LinkeDrive to fully integrated Android-based tablets that already exist within the cabs of the trucks in their fleet. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, Transpro Burgener is a premier dry bulk carrier serving the Western United States and Canada.

LinkeDrive has truly been a win/win solution for all of us here at Transpro Burgener.

Post this

Many of Transpro Burgener’s drivers are currently using LinkeDrive’s patented PedalCoach application on Android-based devices supplied by LinkeDrive. As a result, they are well aware of the impact that the company’s mobile coaching solutions can have on improving driver performance, fuel efficiency and safety. They are also aware of the financial incentives that they can receive through their existing pay-per-performance program leveraging PedalCoach, which enables fleet owners to reward drivers for driving safely and within a range that increases their MPG. In addition, fleet managers at Transpro Burgener have found that the drivers with PedalCoach in their cabs quickly became the best drivers in the company with the best metrics for fuel efficiency and safety.

“We are extremely pleased with the ways in which PedalCoach has enabled us to save money through reduced fuel consumption to-date on LinkeDrive’s devices, but needed it to work with our telematics solution that would integrate seamlessly with the Android tablets we’ve recently installed in our cabs,” said Wayne Saunders, Fleet Manager at Transpro Burgener. LinkeDrive met this need by running its powerful platform in a way that allows the PedalCoach app to float on top of other existing applications running on our tablets. Now our drivers can run other important applications on their tablets and continue to drive at the optimum levels to save fuel…all without taking up additional real estate in the cab. In addition, fleet managers like myself can effectively manage and monitor the data from PedalCoach for each driver and properly coach and compensate them for their good driving habits. LinkeDrive has truly been a win/win solution for all of us here at Transpro Burgener.”

The PedalCoach mobile application leverages LinkeDrive’s cloud-based platform to provide real-time, adaptive feedback for improving fuel efficiency and safety. PedalCoach’s proprietary algorithms set a unique fueling target for each driver communicated in a simple gauge with a red-yellow-green interface that allows drivers to earn “points” for achieving optimal behaviors and patterns. Leveraging PedalCoach for pay-per-performance enables drivers to then be compensated on their ability to meet pre-established goals related to their specific performance. By aligning fair incentives to direct performance unique to the drivers’ task at hand, LinkeDrive is improving retention metrics within the driver community.

“Today’s transportation executives and fleet managers are constantly seeking new ways to save costs through better fuel efficiency and improve the retention rates among their drivers. Increasing a truck’s MPG by just a little can have a significant impact on fuel savings,” said Jeff Baer, LinkeDrive’s founder and CEO. “Leveraging LinkeDrive’s patented cloud-based platform, PedalCoach provides drivers with a game-like interface that layers on top of existing applications without interruption and coaches them on ways to improve the safety and fuel efficiency of their driving. At the same time, performance data from PedalCoach is transmitted back to fleet managers in near real-time, enabling them to see exactly how well the driver is performing and how much fuel is being saved through their efforts. By using pay-for-performance incentives with PedalCoach, drivers quickly become more motivated to perform their best while behind the wheel. And with more money in their pockets and more positive engagement with management, drivers are less likely to look for other jobs.”

LinkeDrive’s PedalCoach application can be deployed on LinkeDrive’s Android smartphone and also integrated easily on Android-based tablets. New installations take under 15-minutes per truck, allowing fleets and drivers to reap the rewards of LinkeDrive’s technology instantly. Fleets can securely access driver and truck analytics to track trends, compare drivers, assess differences in truck models, and evaluate regional and seasonal variances in performance. Rather than wait weeks and often months before providing drivers with analysis of their driving, PedalCoach enables fleet managers to give immediate feedback on driver performance based on the routes that the trucks have traveled. As a result, both fleet manager and driver are in synch on the impact that route conditions, such as a heavy snow storm, may have on driver performance.
