technology speed onboarding by having drivers complete payroll documents and other forms electronically before they arrive for orientation. Tenstreet's IntelliApp system helps speed the process for drivers with an auto-fill feature that draws information from its database of unique applications that have contributed to more than 2.5 million applications processed to date. A separate platform, Xchange, integrates with IntelliApp to coordinate data sources used in the verification process. Predicting success FleetRisk, a division of Omnitracs, has added a predictive dimension to driver recruiting. FleetRisk uses a wide range of historical driver data in its predictive models to create a profile for drivers most likely to succeed for its fleet customers. The profile is derived from a set of fleet-specific "predictors," says Vikas Jain, who leads the FleetRisk Advisors business unit of Omnitracs. FleetRisk Advisors integrates with Tenstreet and EBE to show rankings of drivers – the top 10 percent, the next 10 percent, etc. – that best match the profile. Fleets might consider offering the top 10 percent of their recruits a better pay package due to their greater likelihood of success, Jain says. When it comes to identifying, qualifying and hiring hot leads, technology makes it possible to offer jobs within seconds and minutes rather than days. Right Weigh offers in-dash digital onboard load scale R ight Weigh Inc. launched its first indash mounting digital onboard load scale: the E-Z Weigh In-Dash Scale. The scale is available in two models. The dedicated truck-trailer model displays the on-ground weight for the trailer and the truck's drive axles in pounds and kilograms while also showing an estimated steer and gross weight. The truck-only scale displays the on-ground weight for the truck's drive axles, making it best suited for straight trucks or trucks that typically drop and hook. The in-dash design incorporates a two-point calibration process for each axle group being monitored to help facilitate accurate weight readings within 300 pounds or better per axle group. A large touchscreen with an adjustable backlight helps makes it easier for drivers to view the display. "We were very intentional with the straightforward design of this scale," said Scott McCulloch, director of communications and international business development. "We recognize that fancy isn't always better, so we remained focused on designing a product that is simple to install and easy to use effectively." – Aaron Huff Reduce Your Fleet Costs with LUBER-FINER TRT ® TM See The Full Range of Luber-finer Quality Products at HDAW'14 TM Specifically engineered, Luber-finer TRT (Time Release Technology) filters help reduce escalating fleet-maintenance costs and help heavy-duty fleets extend oil-change intervals by increasing the protection against oil degradation in modern diesel engines.
