Having the tools to help manage your fleet is important, but you also need to understand how to gain value from them.
The blush of a new year can be the perfect time for fleet managers to explore new tools to help with asset management and performance.
Penske's desktop and mobile applications provide customers with real-time access to vehicle performance data while offering drivers the ability to log hours of service and roadside assistance requests in the unlikely event of a mechanical failure.
"We want to put the tools that fleet managers and drivers need in their hands and leverage the technology we have at our disposal to make their job easier," said Jason Emerich, manager of Penske's extranet.
In November, Penske announced enhancements to Fleet Insight™, the company's proprietary website. Penske's customers now enjoy enhanced navigation and expanded customizable data sets for each fleet's operation.
"Our goal is to create the best experience possible, whether you are on a mobile device or accessing any of our applications from a desktop," Emerich said.
Fleet Insight provides fleet managers with a detailed look at a fleet's overall efficiency, costs and scheduled maintenance, so managers can make real-time decisions to enhance fleet performance.
In addition to the desktop version, Fleet Insight offers a companion mobile app available for iOS and Android to equip customers with fleet information at their fingertips.
In addition to performance insights, the Penske Fleet™ app allows fleet managers to view all aspects of the fleet on the go, including units in the fleet, preventive maintenance schedules, open service requests and maintenance billing.
"Fleet managers are always traveling from location to location, and staying on top of costs is important to them," Emerich said. "They can approve any of the bills from their phone rather than approving them on a desktop."
In addition to maintenance, fleet managers can see if any of their equipment is suffering a mechanical failure requiring roadside assistance.
Professional truck drivers can also access real-time information on the go with the Penske Driver™ mobile app.
The free Penske Driver mobile app is an all-in-one solution developed by Penske Truck Leasing for its full-service truck leasing, contract maintenance and commercial truck rental customers. Launched in 2017, the Penske Driver app has enhanced functionality, enabling truck drivers to:
When a truck driver has an unexpected roadside assistance issue, such as a flat tire, drivers can use the app to report the problem quickly and easily to Penske Truck Leasing's 24/7 Roadside Assistance team without ever making a call or being on hold.
Using Penske's mobile app, truck drivers report their roadside issue and simultaneously secure a place in line for assistance. Drivers and their fleet managers receive real-time digital updates about their issue until it is resolved.
Both the Fleet and Driver apps are available for download in the Apple App Store and on Google Play.

Penske Truck Leasing releases the next iteration of its customer website to continue to improve the user experience. Customers will benefit from an enhanced navigation and expanded, customizable data sets for each fleet's operation.
Increased freight demand and tight capacity are leading to higher prices, with major carriers reporting increased revenue per mile in their third-quarter financial reports. While increased rates can be good for carriers, they can be challenging to manage for shippers. Full-service leases can enable shippers to guarantee capacity and regain control over their transportation costs without the capital outlay and oversight that come with fleet ownership.
Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings reported that revenue per loaded mile increased about 20% in the third quarter from the same period last year. At Covenant Transportation Group, revenue per mile increased by roughly 16%.
FedEx Corp. told customers that it is increasing rates on Jan. 7. FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery shipping rates will increase by an average of 4.9%d, and FedEx Express shipping rates will raise the same amount for domestic, U.S. export and U.S. import services.
What’s more, shippers may have difficulty securing capacity, which could cause delivery delays and increase the risk of a missed shipment.
A private fleet provides a company with greater control of its transportation network as well as guaranteed capacity and greater visibility, but the capital and expertise needed to establish a private fleet can be daunting. Penske Truck Leasing’s full-service leases have been designed to give fleets the benefits of a private fleet while reducing the risks that come with ownership.
Guaranteed Capacity: When shippers control their transportation network, they can ensure they have the necessary capacity. They also have greater control over how they prioritize shipments and can make changes if conditions change.
The Ability to Flex: In the current operating environment, it can be useful for private fleets to be able to flex up or down based on current demand, without the long-term commitment that comes with equipment ownership. Whether it is to address a busy season, the addition of a customer or rapid growth, Penske Truck Leasing works with its customers to add capacity as needed or right-size a fleet.
Improved Reliability: Leasing allows private companies to experience greater reliability over shipments and delivery times, and ensures capacity.
Controlled Costs: With Penske Truck Leasing, shippers receive predetermined transportation and maintenance expenses, making it easier to forecast and control budgets.
Detailed Insight: Penske Truck Leasing has created its Fleet Insight™ proprietary online tool that provides 24/7 online access to all of a fleet’s information, such as preventive maintenance appointments, invoices and fuel locations. The tool has been designed to help private fleets manage their assets and view detailed information about their trucks, such as the unit, VIN and license, with a few easy clicks.
