Thunderbird Truck Management and Material Handing is revolutionizing the dump truck and material handling industry by using patent-pending technology to emphasize safety, environmental stewardship, dispatch efficiency, accurate and transparent billing, and cost savings for all parties.
Safety Monitoring
Onboard truck-monitoring equipment performs a variety of functions. One of the most important is driving events. You can pore over the data, looking at speeds driven and hard braking events, and conduct frequent safety inspections. Continuing driver education is based on the facts of what they are doing day in and day out, making it pertinent to the drivers. This results in more comprehensive understanding of the training and immediate positive results on the road.
Engine Monitoring
Reduced emissions and fuel consumption are other significant benefits. Onboard engine monitoring equipment gathers engine and driving data as well as route details that educate drivers about more efficient driving techniques. Emissions are reduced by monitoring idle time, addressing congestion at dump sites, and by encouraging the drivers to use routes that are less prone to traffic congestion or are more direct.
This saves your company and your customers money by lowering fuel bills. Burning less fuel also helps sustain our environment by reducing your fleet's carbon footprint.
Weights
Overweight trucks cost extra fuel to move, not to mention the costs in time and money to the company and drivers when fined. Your fleet is fitted with truck-mounted weight sensors to eliminate overweight trucks. Additionally, empty and loaded weights are done accurately and in real time for every load delivered.
GPS Dispatch
Thunderbird truck dispatch system facilitates the drive for efficiency that must be in the forefront of every trucking operation by the tracking and monitoring of trucks. GPS point plots determine the most efficient routes and trigger load and unload messages. Owners and customers will have access to performance data via a web-based interface.
Truck owners, dump site operators and contractors all improve productivity and maximize profitability.
Accurate Billing
All this technology combines to streamline your billing process while increasing its accuracy. GPS-plotted load and unload data integrate with onboard weights for a computer-generated load record that will then create a billable event and invoice. This will streamline the entire process providing much faster processing and payments to truck owners. The hard data also improves accuracy and transparency of each invoice's origin information.

your payments are delayed by antiquated cost-tracking and billing systems;
you are trusting your livelihood to commercial scales;
you have no accurate way to measure driver behavior;
you have no accurate way to monitor or reduce miles driven, fuel costs
and emissions;
you care about the impact your company has on the environment;
you lack any of these profitable management tools to help you compete.
