4 apps that help to address health and safety
1. Anti-Drowse: This app lets you program the length of your trip, and the app will then make sounds and noises at varying intervals to keep you awake. Unlike your typical phone alarm, the app is unpredictable, so you can’t fall into a sleepy, monotonous pattern while you drive.
2. FatSecret Calorie Counter: Eating healthy is an industry challenge: time is tight, hours are long and access to restaurants is limited by parking constraints or highway exits. With this app, drivers can look up nutrition information for foods found at most restaurants, scan barcodes for instant nutrition information on packaged foods, and track total daily calories, fat and carbs.
3. Co-Pilot Live Truck: This first-of-its kind app uses voice-guided GPS navigation to give drivers customized, safe and reliable truck-legal routes calculated based on vehicle size, weight and load type. The app helps drivers to avoid low-clearance and weight-restricted roads, create custom route profiles for easy switching between vehicles, view and plan efficient routing options, and help avoid out-of-route miles.
4. FleetSafer Mobile: While reading or writing a text, a driver looks away from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. During that time, at 55 miles per hour, his or her vehicle will travel the length of an entire football field. FleetSafer eliminates the temptation to text, email or browse the web while driving. With this app, drivers can block texts and emails while driving, and automatically respond to incoming emails and texts with an “I’m driving” message.
Along with these safety and health apps, fleet mobile has solutions that can address requirements or add conveniences in the summer months. Drivers can count on mobile devices for way-finding, repair and fuel locations along with food, hotel and lodging. However, it is the health of the body and the vehicle that matters most. With the technology in their hands, drivers are safer on the roads than they have ever been and are extremely grateful for it.
