CALGARY, AB — June 14, 2011

Mentor Engineering is pleased to announce their recent partnership with LoadTrek.net. Based in Madison, WI, LoadTrek.net software is created by North American Dispatch Systems. LoadTrek.net software is designed to work in many challenging dispatch environments, including trucking, oilfield, and service industries.

LoadTrek’s software will run on Mentor Ranger® mobile computers in the vehicle. The solution will simplify transportation management by allowing users to create and assign loads, track assets in real-time, communicate with drivers, collect Department of Transportation (DOT) and fuel tax data, bill customers and track driver time and violations for reporting purposes.

Egor Korneev, VP of Operations for LoadTrek.net explains why Ranger was their mobile computing platform of choice: “We made the decision to work with Ranger based on the fact that Mentor’s hardware has been proven in the field, so we saw a very good precedent for hardware reliability and functionality. We thought Ranger was very cutting-edge technology.”

The combined Mentor-LoadTrek system is a complete EOBR solution that allows carriers to comply with FMCSA Hours of Service (HOS) regulations.

Using the EOBR system, drivers log onto Ranger and wirelessly receive eight days of DOT history. As they progress through the day’s work, DOT duty states change automatically based on the vehicle movements. The system eliminates the need for paper logs, and improves compliance with real-time monitoring.

“The system has been well received based on ease of use and reliability,” says Egor. “The industry response has been fantastic. There are multiple automated mechanisms in the system that makes it user-friendly. For instance, the system is real-time, so both the driver and the driver’s supervisor in the office are notified of any impending warnings of violations,” explains Egor.

“The solution offered by Mentor and LoadTrek provides customers value, not only in terms of time savings, but enhanced safety as well. This solution benefits any company that has commercial motor vehicles. It ensures industry-specific legislated rules are being followed and Hours of Service data and records are electronically available for hassle-free compliance,” says Shubh Sidhu, Enterprise Product Manager at Mentor Engineering.
