READING,
Pa., Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Penske Truck
Leasing recently launched an electronic driver vehicle inspection
report (eDVIR) feature in the Penske Driver™ mobile app for its
customers. This new feature enables customer truck drivers to
submit driver vehicle inspection reports electronically using the
free Penske Driver app.
This new eDVIR functionality also provides fleet managers with
immediate access to the submissions sent through the app using
Fleet Insight™, Penske's real-time fleet management platform. This
advancement aims to streamline inspection processes, enhance
compliance and improve overall fleet management efficiency.
"Our new eDVIR capability represents a step forward in how we
support our customers' compliance and maintenance needs," said
Brandie Searle, vice president of
digital product management for Penske. "By responding to customer
feedback with this highly requested feature we enable electronic
submissions and real-time visibility, helping fleet managers
address issues quickly and effectively, reducing downtime and
improving operational efficiency."
The eDVIR feature is designed to help users stay compliant with
Department of Transportation regulations and is exclusive to Penske
leased, maintained, or rented vehicles. The upgrade streamlines the
repair request process by automatically sending defect reports from
the telematics system to Penske's maintenance system. As defects
are resolved, detailed mechanic notes and resolution statuses are
communicated back to the telematics system, providing essential
information such as repair shop locations, repair notes and contact
details.
The Penske Driver app is used by approximately 20,000 commercial
truck drivers monthly and offers a range of features including
logging Hours of Service to comply with the Electronic Logging
Device mandate, submitting 24/7 roadside assistance requests,
checking-in for service visits, submitting fuel receipts digitally
and finding location rental, leasing, service, parking, EV charging
and fueling locations. The app provides access to vehicle
information, service history and 24/7 support.
Penske offers live, free weekly training webinars on Penske
Driver to ensure customers can effectively use the technology.
Penske Driver is available for download on both Android and Apple
devices. For additional guidance and information, download Penske's
eBook: "Complete Daily Tasks and Stay Compliant with Penske
Driver."
