How We Killed Multiple Birds With One Stone For A Foodservice Giant
Maneuvering tractor-trailers is HARD on many levels!
You know the saying: the bigger they are, the harder they are to reverse, back up, or swap trailers with...
The length and coupled nature of tractor trailers presents a number of problems. The abilities to safely reverse, maneuver, or park without incident require a set of extra eyes, preferably in the form of a backup camera system.
Easy fix, right?
Not so fast!
See, that solution presents another problem: how efficient is the use of a backup camera system if drivers have to constantly swap out their trailers when taking on new jobs?
Decoupling and then rewiring a system on every swap is unrealistic and wastes an immense amount of time and money.
To stay efficient, drivers need to swap out trailers and move as efficiently as possible to the next job.
So what's the actual solution?
With a wireless backup camera system, they bring the safety of an extra set of eyes with them to the next trailer, without having to spend time on removing or reinstalling a wired system.
Once the swap is made, the monitor and camera(s) simply need to be paired together, and the driver can move on to their next route, confident in their ability to reverse with full view of the rear.
Case & Point
Performance Food Group needed a solution for their tractor-trailer reversal issues, that also scaled for efficiency across their large fleet.
With a wireless backup camera system that was specially tailored for easy trailer swaps, seamless pairing with compatible components, and transmission up to 100ft (more than the average length of a semitrailer), Performance Food Group saw an 80% decrease in backing incidents.
Moral of the story: efficiency is key when problem-solving, so invest in a solution that can do it all, in one fell swoop!
