Rand McNally announced a new pricing plan, which the company said has a host of new features and an unparalleled warranty program for its single-box compliance solution for fleets. The TND 760 Fleet Edition is a next-generation in-cab EOBR device that installs in less than 30 minutes, is low-cost, and is easily adopted by drivers.
According to the company, for as little as $649 for the hardware, and $19.95 per month for service, trucks can be equipped with a fully compliant EOBR solution. For $799, the device also comes loaded with Rand McNally’s navigation. Lease options are available for as low as $39 per month for qualifying fleets.
Three monthly service plan options are available, providing fleets the ability to create an affordable package that addresses their specific business needs, according to the company: the EOBR plan, offering electronic hours of service and vehicle inspection reporting for $19.95/month; the Basic plan, which layers on vehicle positioning and online mapping, text and form messages, driver email and attachments, as well as integration access via Rand McNally Connect, for $29.95; and the full Enterprise plan that layers on a driver scorecard, vehicle performance, critical event reporting and vehicle maintenance for $39.95. These service plan prices are based on a three-year commitment.
A three-year warranty is standard on TND 760 hardware. This is an upgrade from the standard one-year warranty typically offered in the industry, the company stated.
Rand McNally also announced a group of new features coming on stream in the next few months. By the end of June, a new back-end mapping portal with upgraded geofencing, alerting, and route replay will be up and running. This feature will be part of the Basic and Enterprise monthly plans. Also in development are significant enhancements to the IntelliRoute TND GPS navigation software, including the ability for fleets to send, and for drivers to receive, routes on the TND 760.
“As we roll out the TND 760 to more fleets and transportation companies, we’re finding that there are a number of items they’re responding to,” said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally. “The low cost, quick installation, and the fact that Rand McNally is well regarded among professional drivers are key. When drivers accept the device, they use it.”
Despite its compact design, the company said the TND 760 features a broad array of capabilities including fleet communications via email, driver and vehicle performance monitoring, electronic hours of service (HOS) compliance, and truck-specific navigation. Information on fleet activity is managed via Rand McNally’s FleetWatcher web-based portal.
