A portable version of the company’s in-cab terminal, the Blue Tree R:COM In-Cab Portable device, provides all the same features as the existing R:COM in-cab communication system while also enabling “plug and play” functionality for owner-operator and rental vehicles. The portable unit with a ruggedized screen is temporarily mounted on the dash and plugged directly into the vehicle diagnostics and to a permanently attached antenna.
The R:COM In-Cab Portable provides Blue Tree’s hours of service program, driver messaging with predefined quick messages and custom data entry form messages, text to speech, satellite navigation and job management features. On the system, fleets can send details to the driver with navigation coordinates and truck specific routing and receive estimated arrival time data. Specific screens can be added to include inspection or incident reports. Fleets also can design and upload custom data entry forms to personalize the Blue Tree solution based on their individual requirements.
