About The Customer
H&H Concrete on Demand is a company that specializes in volumetric concrete. Instead of a traditional premixed barrel truck operation, H&H employs a different type of truck that essentially serves as a batch plant where the water, sand, rock, and concrete are mixed and poured onsite. This solution eliminates the risk of the concrete setting up prematurely, ensuring a purer mix and better final product. It’s also more efficient since drivers don’t have to pour then head back to base camp to obtain more premix. H&H Concrete on Demand has been in business since 1984, and Candace has managed fleet operations for decades (since 2016 for H&H). From H&H headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas, Candace oversees 34 vehicles and 28 CDL and non-CDL drivers who route from base camp to satellite yards to customer sites throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. With 17 volumetric trucks, five haul trucks, and a dozen or so crew trucks, Candace’s job is to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The Challenge
H&H Concrete on Demand was facing challenges with their previous fleet tracking solutions. The first solution was outdated and the second one was not meeting their needs. It would take 90 seconds just to find a truck, and its units kept triggering the check engine light on their vehicles. The provider promised the ability to use ELD logs without cellular service, yet the Wi-Fi tablets it provided never worked correctly. The company was in need of a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly fleet tracking solution.
The Solution
H&H began using FleetLocate by Spireon in March 2017. FleetLocate allows Candace to easily monitor the whereabouts of hauling trucks, volumetric concrete trucks, and even light-duty pickup trucks. Haul and volumetric trucks are set up to log hours of service (HOS) for mandated electronic logging device (ELD) compliance; work trucks are outfitted for non-ELD fleet management. FleetLocate alerts Candace when drivers are speeding or not wearing seatbelts. With real-time tracking, Candace can have her dispatcher get lost drivers back on track with minimal delay. FleetLocate manages driver vehicle inspection reporting (DVIR) as well, allowing Candace to route vehicles to H&H’s onsite shop for repairs and maintenance.
Operational Impact
  • Improved safety with alerts for speeding and seatbelt usage.
  • Real-time tracking allows for quick rerouting of lost drivers.
  • Efficient management of driver vehicle inspection reporting (DVIR).
  • Improved driver behavior with transparency on what the system is tracking.
  • Easier compliance with federal regulations due to the system's ease of use.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Estimated drop of at least 10 percent in idle time since implementing FleetLocate.
  • Reduced number of accidents.
  • Reduced repairs considerably with better diagnostics monitoring and preventative maintenance.
