functionality via the OnCommand ® Connection Marketplace. Q How is the OnCommand ® Connection Driver Vehicle Inspection Report associated with the OnCommand ® Connection family of fleet management services? A When you purchase our telematics device (OnCommand ® Link 2), DVIR reports will be integrated into your OnCommand ® Connection fleet dashboard. The dashboard enables fleet managers to view inspection report history, summaries of vehicle issues and more. The OnCommand ® Link 2 will be available mid-summer at International Truck and IC Bus dealers as well as various retail and online locations. Q How does the OnCommand ® Connection Driver Vehicle Inspection Report make drivers' jobs easier? A Ultimately, drivers save time by going paperless. It's one less form to manually fill out, the ability to submit pictures with the report eliminates the need to write lengthy descriptions and they no longer need to keep track of reports until they're handed in. Simply put, our DVIR solution takes the guesswork and hassle out of inspecting before going on duty and post-trip. Q How does it affect fleet management and operation? A In our system, fleet managers gain critical insight that allows them to manage their vehicle-repair process more efficiently. They are able to tell if drivers are filling out inspection reports, and they know in real-time if a truck has been put out of service or requires a repair. When repairs can be scheduled promptly and when fleet management can easily monitor vehicle-repair status, efficiency and uptime are maximized. Q What are the other benefits of using DVIRs through the OnCommand ® Link 2 system? A The big benefits of going paperless with our system are increased driver efficiency via automation, a 24/7 holistic view into fleet health and expedited communication flow between drivers and managers. By combining all of the diagnostic features available on the OnCommand ® Link into the new telematics enabled OnCommand ® Link 2, we provide more information and value than any other solution on the market. Additionally, when the OnCommand ® Link 2 is available, there will be no monthly fees, no contracts to sign, no cancellation fees and legendary OnCommand ® customer and dealer support. Drivers get a comprehensive solution in one box.
