Technology in Trucking: Enhancing Safety & Visibility in Chemical Transport
As a chemical transport company, we know that hauling hazardous chemicals isn’t without its risks. In fact, it’s a high-stakes operation with virtually no margin for error. Safety and precision are crucial components, and as technology evolves, so does the industry.
Advanced tools and systems in the chemical transportation industry are helping to enhance safety, increase visibility and transparency, and improve accountability.
At All Chemical, we’re happy to embrace new technology to ensure that we’re strengthening our ability to better serve our customers. Here are some of the tools that we’ve implemented and the ways they’ve helped transform the industry:
Smart Fleet Management to Improve Safety
Fleet management systems are a way for us to help monitor and improve our processes. It offers real-time monitoring of how our trucks perform, the behavior of our drivers, and even the conditions of the route. It allows us to increase our level of oversight, identify issues, and optimize how we get our loads to their destination.
Route Optimization & GPS Tracking
Real-time visibility into delivery times and truck locations is essential not only for our company, but for the chemical logistics industry as a whole. By optimizing routes, we ensure every delivery is safe, efficient, and on time. While we plan routes to best avoid densely populated roads, our systems also monitor weather and sudden road closures, allowing us to adjust quickly and deliver each load safely to its destination
Electronic Logging Devices
Compliance is a cornerstone of the supply chain, and we uphold it through the use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). These systems monitor hours of service in full alignment with regulations, helping to minimize driver fatigue. By knowing exactly when a driver needs rest and recovery, we ensure they are on the road only when alert, reducing risks and enhancing safety for everyone.
Real-Time Tracking for Customers
Giving clients peace of mind is essential for building your reputation as a reliable chemical transporter. We offer real-time tracking of deliveries, letting our customers know exactly where their shipment is, status updates en route and at the customer, and when their delivery is to be expected. It helps us build trust with our customers, allowing us to continue an ongoing relationship.
Sensors & Temperature Regulation
Some chemicals are temperature sensitive, meaning that maintaining the proper temperature is critical for product quality or ability to load and deliver. While this is a challenge, we utilize sensors and temperature regulation technology to ensure that our customers’ products are stable and kept at the right temperature from departure to arrival.
