Transflo introduced a suite of free digital tools to give truck drivers and fleets a single platform for information about how to safeguard driver health and keep supply chains moving during situations like the recent COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
“Truckers are essential to our economy and they want the latest information about trucking and coronavirus in one convenient place,” said Frank Adelman, President and CEO of Transflo. “We are listening and now provide free resources to help the industry manage business and stay up-to-date with this constantly changing situation. We’re honored to be able to give back to this great industry and help safeguard drivers through the use of technology.”
Transflo has established three resources for drivers and fleets:
Driver Assist Task Force: Transflo’s Driver Assist Task Force is an online resource center where drivers and fleets can ask questions and get answers about limiting the potential spread of the virus, keeping freight flowing and streamlining business processes in a disruptive environment.
Social Sharing Platform: Transflo has created a social channel where drivers can engage with one another and share advice from the road. This platform is moderated to keep advertising and driver recruiting off the site.
Driver Assist Mobile App: The Driver Assist mobile app integrates health tips, industry news, a messaging platform for drivers and fleets and details about document scanning, truck stop locations and Cat Scale integration onto your mobile device.
“These new tools are free of advertising and exist solely to help with information and resource sharing for professional drivers and fleets,” said Adelman. “As the industry’s most popular mobile platform for virtually every aspect of the freight transaction, we feel we have a responsibility to help carriers and drivers during this time.”
Existing users of the Transflo Mobile+ app will see the Driver Assist feature added to their existing app interface. Those who don’t currently use Transflo can download a free version of the app on the Apple store now, and later this week on Google Play, too.
