Construction Safety Week is a crucial time to emphasize the utmost importance of safety in heavy material transportation, especially in the realm of concrete. With an average fully loaded mixer truck putting a significant 66,000 pounds on the slab, safety measures are essential. This is where utilizing data becomes vital. Ensuring the safety of drivers, trucks, clients, community, and protecting your reputation all come together with the help of iStrada.
One crucial aspect to consider is fleet maintenance, which plays a significant role in terms of both cost and predictability. Transitioning from reactive to proactive maintenance practices through digital Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs) can lead to substantial savings on truck repairs and improved driver safety. iStrada requires drivers to complete DVIRs at the beginning and end of their shifts, providing customizable reports accessible to maintenance crews through a cloud-native portal. With iStrada's DVIR functionality, potential issues can be identified and addressed proactively, resulting in significant time, cost, and resource savings.
Additionally, an abundance of data is generated throughout the concrete production and delivery process, highlighting the need for efficient management and sharing. iStrada tackles this challenge with its eTicketing solution, replacing outdated paper-based practices to streamline tracking, archiving, and sharing of crucial information. By digitizing workflows, eTickets not only boost efficiency but also enhance safety by reducing interactions between workers, construction equipment, and traffic.
The GPS Snail Trail feature in iStrada enhances transport safety by optimizing routes, allowing users to assess the efficiency and recognize potential red flags. This can lead to reduced mileage and fuel costs. Additionally, each waypoint in the snail trail offers detailed information on vehicle status, date and time, ticket status, direction of travel, vehicle speed, and stops made. In the event of client concerns, iStrada provides the necessary answers promptly and effectively.
During Construction Safety Week and beyond, iStrada serves as a reliable partner in advocating for safety, efficiency, and accountability in ready-mix transportation.
