- Utilizes the PeopleNet PerformX Solution to remotely retrieve key engine operating information such as idle time, with driver incentives for exceptional performance.
- Electronic toll and scale passes help maintain speed which is capped at 65 mph.
- Tiger pays for driver access to Idle-Air facilities to eliminate idle time on the 34 hour reset.
- Tiger takes time every day to preach fuel management responsibility, reward good behavior and coach underachievers.
“Understanding that the main driver components of idle time are speed, shift, and idle; we implemented technologies to take those factors out of the driver’s hands. Our technology allows us to monitor the driver’s behavior and provide feedback immediately. We take very seriously our commitment to making the world a better place for our children. We are very proud to be a SmartWay Partner and our customers are proud to do business with us because of it.”
