COMMERCIAL CARRIER JOURNAL | OCTOBER 2016 51 technology Omnitracs rolls out ELD Driver Retention Model O mnitracs, a provider of fleet management solutions, announced its ELD Driver Retention Model, a predic- tive modeling solution designed to help companies identify and retain truck drivers who are most likely to leave their jobs voluntarily by proactively engaging at-risk groups with targeted remediation programs. Omnitracs' ELD Driver Retention Model uses the data that companies already are collecting through hours-of-service applications to detect subtle changes in driver habits, which the company said can be key indicators of their desire to leave their jobs voluntarily. According to Omnitracs, individual driver logs produce more than a thousand pieces of data related to hours worked, customer site delays, lack of hours and amount of activity on the clock. Omnitracs said its ELD Driver Retention Model was de- signed for any size fl eet using electronic logging applications and that the model can leverage not just Omnitracs' own HOS data but also HOS data generated by competitive solutions. "The Omnitracs ELD Driver Retention Model allows fl eets of all sizes to reap the benefi ts of predictive modeling to prevent driver turnover and address the root causes of voluntary termi- nation," said Brad Taylor, Omnitracs' vice president of data and IoT solutions. "In a 500-driver fl eet, preventing just half of the voluntarily turnover in the most at-risk group of drivers saves nearly $29,000 per month in direct hiring costs." The ELD Driver Retention Model is the fi rst of a suite of solutions from Omnitracs designed to help the fl eet manage- ment industry capitalize on what the company describes as "the Interstate of Things" – Omnitracs' vision for the industry to capture, understand and manage data created from the con- nected devices in the entire transportation industry, includ- ing trucks, streetlights and toll roads, in order to make more effi cient data-driven decisions. – Aaron Huff The proven solution for bypassing and tolls saves time, fuel and money. 888-361-7277 PrePassNow.com ENDORSED FEATURED PRODUCT WE SUPPORT: IT'S ALL ABOUT RELIABILITY.
