COVER STORY Featured Company: Drive Axle App (http://driveaxleapp.com) Drive Axle allows the driver to take a picture of the bill of lading, or of the load, then they can add some notes, select an email and the app cleans up the document and sends to the broker or office needing the information. 4. Electronic Logbooker: This system allows drivers to input information for each stage of the shipping process into the terminal. The main office receives this data along with the GPS location of the truck simultaneously. The system also allows drivers and dispatchers to pre-plan load assignments, resulting in increased productivity. Featured Company: Werner Enterprises Paperless Log System (http://www.werner.com) Werner Enterprises Paperless Log System is connected via satellite through the QualcommTM and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), assists truck drivers in using their time efficiently. The system enables load planners, fleet managers and drivers to pre-plan load assignments to maximize productivity within the legal driving hours-of-service limits. 5. PrePass: The genius of the PrePass is that it takes inspiration from technology that is already in wide use today to keep drivers moving through toll stations and other stopping points on the road. The PrePass conveys specific information about the driver, the truck, and the company as the truck heads into a roadside weigh station. Featured Company: Heavy Vehicle Electronic License Plate (HELP) (http://www. prepass.com/) The culmination of HELP, Inc's efforts is PrePass – an intelligent transportation system that electronically verifies safety, credentials, and weight of commercial vehicles at participating state highway weigh stations, commercial vehicle inspection facilities and ports of entry. Installation of the basic PrePass equipment at many state inspection facilities is funded by HELP, Inc. and provided to states without the use of public funds.
