Innovation at Abilene

Abilene Motor Express has always tried to stay aware of the innovative use of technology.  Our primary goal is to use technology to keep drivers safe, and to improve the driver’s experience.  We pride ourselves on maintaining a fleet that is 5 years or newer and offering our drivers the tools they need to get the job done.

SmartDrive Device

The SmartDrive device is placed in every truck to track the driver’s safety on the road. The SmartDrive device has a road-facing camera to assess driver performance and to protect drivers from unnecessary insurance claims. This device is equipped with advanced triggering to alert drivers about speeding, U-turns, lane departures, close following, and more.

Not only does this device help to keep drivers safe, but it also helps to lower collision and fuel costs.

Omnitracs/Qualcomm

The Omnitracs device is utilized to update drivers with the route, load, and any information they need to get their jobs done. This device has route optimization, which provides the fastest and most cost-effective route to take for drivers.

The Omnitracs device also enhances two-way communication between the driver and their operations team; it notifies the driver’s team of arrival and departure times, and it eliminates the need for paper logs. This device is meant to improve the driver’s experience.
