Feature Spotlight: Simplified Manifest Printing in TrackAbout

Businesses transporting hazardous goods are required to produce an accurate manifest that shows what – and how much – they’re carrying onboard, at all times.  

To stay compliant with these strict U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, drivers loading their trucks each morning typically print out a physical copy of their manifest before they head out on the road. As they deliver assets to customers or pick up empty containers, it’s their responsibility to manually update the manifest to keep track of everything. 

It can be a bit of a headache, and mistakes can easily be made.
