According to Rand McNally, Ryan Transportation Group chose the company’s TND 760 for full deployment to its fleet of 150 trucks. Ryan Transportation will use the integration provided by Rand McNally’s Connect software to link data coming from the in-cab devices to TruckMate software from TMW Systems, streamlining business operations, the company added.

Executives at Ryan Transport chose Rand McNally for its ease of installation, integration capabilities with other management software, and functionality that was easy for a driver to understand and use, the company said.

“Rand McNally’s TND 760 EOBR devices provide outstanding benefits for an affordable price,” said Scott Simpson, senior vice president of operations and administration for Ryan Transportation. “What really sold us on Rand McNally was their partnership approach to helping us develop a product and process that would grow with our company. They proved that the TND 760 can be an off-the-shelf offering, or can be easily customized to meet your business needs.”

Simpson added Ryan Transportation is looking forward to streamlining its operations with the units, enabling the company to spend more time planning versus reacting to situations that have already occurred. The company will now have visibility into arrival and departure time to assist in customer management and invoicing, and driver logs and location to ascertain driver availability for additional loads. Drivers will have Rand McNally’s award-winning truck-specific navigation available at their fingertips, reducing support calls into dispatch for directions, the maker added.
