DETROIT (Reuters) – Industrial conglomerate Honeywell International Inc and U.S. truck fleet services company Omnitracs said on Tuesday they are rolling out software for large less-than-truckload (LTL) firms to comply with a looming federal regulation for drivers to log hours electronically and manage trucker workflow.
The new system, available on a handheld Honeywell device around the size of a smartphone that uses Android-based software, is being deployed by the Holland and Reddaway units of YRC Worldwide Inc, the second-largest U.S. LTL firm.
