MiX by Powerfleet Launches ELD-Ready Solutions for Hazmat Transporters

According to US Department of Transportation figures, there were 15,282 highway transportation incidents involving hazmat in 2014 (the latest figures available). 128 people were injured, 9 were killed, and the incidents caused nearly $59M in property damage. While safety is always a priority for hazmat transporters, there is room for improvement, and fleet management solutions can help.

MiX Fleet Manager delivers:

• Real-time visibility into driver behavior, including in-cab video for visual evidence and driver coaching
• Compliance monitoring such as Hours of Service and IFTA State Line Crossing
• Real-time monitoring for unsafe driver behavior, including sudden acceleration, harsh braking and speeding
• Driver scorecards
• Increased vehicle utilization
• Decreased maintenance costs
• Reduced crashes and related costs
• Decreased fuel consumption
• Improved customer service levels

MiX solutions save customers $50-100 per month, per vehicle

MiX by Powerfleet has a decade of experience in hazmat, including Oil & Gas. MiX customer ROI analysis shows that fleets can expect to save $50-100 per month, per vehicle, net (after the cost of the MiX by Powerfleet solution). Savings are due to factors such as fuel usage reductions, improved vehicle utilization, wage savings (less time on paperwork), crash prevention/avoidance, and reduced maintenance/repair expenses.
