Streamlined McLeod experience

PeopleNet has added five new features to streamline experiences with McLeod Software. They’re included in the recently released LoadMaster Enterprise and PowerBroker management systems – version 17.1.

Drivers don’t have to manually enter data about trailer drop and hook events when fleets use PeopleNet’s Power Line Communication (PLC) Trailer Tracking processed by McLeod software. Fleets can also use a driver form to capture signature data, which can be stored through McLeod’s DocumentPower imaging.

Data about a driver’s available hours is now pushed to McLeod for trip-planning purposes; drivers don’t need to refer to their inbox to retrieve stop information; and McLeod’s LoadMaster communicates additional PeopleNet alarms on items like unexpected drops in fuel level, use of seat belts and cruise control, hard braking, and overspeed events.
