The results show electronic logs market penetration for February 2013 and are part of TCP’s First Quarter 2013 Business Expectations Survey.
However, according to the survey, that penetration is only tied to larger carriers, as 71 percent of small carriers surveyed are still not using EOBRs at all. Nearly half of large carriers — 43 percent — have electronic logging devices on all of their trucks, says TCP’s survey.
TCP says that e-log use directly ties to better CSA scores.
More and more, says TCP, carriers are taking steps to improve their CSA scores, which in the last three years has meant educating drivers and trying to weed out underperforming drivers, TCP says. According to the survey, nearly 50 percent of the surveyed fleets have changed their hiring standards as a direct response to CSA implementation.
