McLeod LoadMaster vs. Samsara Vehicle Telematics

On my daily tasks, it helps me to track every order and provide us with detailed information, logging times, [and] user's interactions. Not only [being] able to track but to build and receive orders thru its transmission system is good because it is integrated with a huge amount of companies world wide, reducing the effort and costs in contracting several apps to do just one thing.

Samsara [for Fleets] is an excellent solution not only to help with the DOT/FMCAS ELD compliance regulation, it has helped our organization stay on top of our fleet health and maintenance better than ever before. This program takes the mileage from the trucks and uses that information to calculate the maintenance intervals for all service schedules created. Then it will give you warnings as the vehicles approach those intervals in order to help plan out maintenance for your fleet minimizing down time.

GREAT PEOPLE. WHO KNOW THEIR PRODUCT AND WERE EXCITED TO SHOW US THE SYSTEMS

EASY TO FOLLOW- EASY TO USE

McLeod has several implementations and is always looking for new ways to get up-to-date. Also, it is stable which is a nice thing when you are a big company handling thousands and thousands of loads every day. We are not only building loads but selling, tracking, dispatching, billing them, and all is being done in the same app.

Samsara [for Fleets] is head and shoulders about the opposing products we stacked it up against. Between the ease of use for the driver app, the intuitive user friendly homepage and attentive staff and support team that Samsara provides makes their solution second to none. There have been multiple times that I have suggested items in the respective area of the website and within days I'm having a conference call with their development team so they can better understand what I'm looking for and how to make it happen and appeal to all customers in a constant effort to add value to their product.

• Looks a bit old- we are in a new age of apps with fresh looks and responsive designs, however, this does not impact our business but we think that using a new face will help with the training curve.
• It might delay the operation a bit because we need to access different menu items to get to one specific point.
• A positive thing would be that with all the amount of features it has. McLeod is always trying keep the platform stable, and we know it is not easy to maintain a software like that.

Incentivized

• Reduced accident frequency.
• Reduced liability for accidents caused by others.
• Mitigated and quick resolutions to accidents caused by my drivers.
