If you missed “Why You Need Telematics in Hot and Slow Economies,” the webinar we sponsored recently with FreightWaves, good news—you can now view the recording in short clips or in full, by clicking the link below.
The first half of 2020 has been incredibly volatile, forcing carriers to re-think their strategies for the year. Particularly when times are uncertain, it is critical for fleets to optimize productivity, right-size their fleets and cut costs. However, even when the economy is good, businesses need to operate as efficiently as possible in order to keep up with higher demand, and telematics can help during both of these times.
To explore the importance of telematics in helping fleets operate at their best potential during both hot and slow economies, FreightWaves and Spireon partnered to present an hour-long webinar last month to share what carriers are experiencing and how to operate as efficiently as possible during this time.
Key areas of discussion:
- Economic overview of the primary factors impacting fleets
- Tips for operating during uncertain economic conditions
- How telematics can help optimize business performance during good and uncertain times
