Jessica M.

Dispatcher and Accounts Receivable

Cons

“TICKET turn around time is a HUGE issue for me. When I open a ticket, I am in need of a QUICK resolution b/c the majority of the time, the issues is affecting my drivers logs and they can't drive until it's corrected or fixed.”
LK

Leanne K.

Admin Trainer Hours of Service Logs

“At times, many coaching alerts are generated that are barely actionable. If my team does not have logins or apps, scheduling behavior counseling is time-consuming.”
CM

Charles M.

Operations Manager

“I don't like the battery life on the AG-51 asset tracker when it comes to unpowered fleet assets that are on the road for extended periods of time as the batteries would die and would cause us to lose tracking on assets until batteries could be replaced.”
