The road transport sector is evolving rapidly, and one of the major changes in recent years is digitization. Mobile applications, management platforms, connected tools… Truck drivers are at the forefront of this transformation. But concretely, what does this change for them? Here’s an overview of the impacts and advantages.
A simplified daily check
Before departure, drivers must check the general condition of the vehicle: tires, brakes, lights, levels, safety equipment, condition of straps, etc. Thanks to applications like Vesuv, there’s no need to jot everything down on paper or juggle between scattered checklists. They have a clear, modifiable, and centralized digital checklist. The result: time saving, better traceability, and fewer oversights.✅
A quicker reporting of anomalies
A broken strap, a check engine light on, a faulty tailgate? Where previously it was necessary to call the garage or fill out a manual form, the digital tool allows for immediate reporting of the anomaly. With Vesuv, for example, the driver can declare the issue in a few clicks, take a picture, and inform the maintenance team. The company can thus react quickly and avoid a more serious incident.
Enhanced safety on the client site
The driver is not only exposed to risks on the road but also during loading/unloading: unsecured dock, slippery floor, damaged equipment… With a digital tool, they can easily report the dangers encountered at clients' sites, contributing to improving safety for everyone and preventing accidents.☝🏻
Complete traceability of interventions
Every operation is tracked: inspections, anomalies, completed interventions. This traceability reassures not only the company but also the driver, who can prove that they have followed the procedures. It is an asset in case of inspection or dispute.
Less paper, more efficiency
No more bundles of forms, notebooks to fill out and archive. Everything is centralized on a unique platform, accessible from the smartphone or tablet on board. The result: fewer errors, less paperwork, and a driver who can focus on what matters: driving.✨
Better communication with the teams
Thanks to digital tools, drivers stay connected to the company in real-time. They receive updated instructions, can communicate with the scheduling or workshop, and are informed immediately in case of changes. This fluidity reduces frustrations and improves day-to-day operations.
Conclusion: a lever for performance and well-being
Digitization is not a gimmick.
When used properly, it becomes a real lever for performance for companies and comfort for drivers. Time saving, increased safety, task simplification… The benefits are concrete and measurable.
