  • Tenstreet Acquires Vnomics and True Load Time to End Excessive Fuel Spend, Detention Delays

    Tenstreet Acquires Vnomics and True Load Time to End Excessive Fuel Spend, Detention Delays

    [ad_1]

    Press Release


    Apr 27, 2022

    At Tenstreet’s 2022 User Conference, CEO Tim Crawford announced the acquisition of two powerful disruptors in the transportation industry, Vnomics – a fuel optimization solution – and True Load Time (TLT) – a load-time management technology. Both companies were born of trucking industry visionaries who experienced the detrimental effects wasted fuel and load-time inefficiencies had on drivers and carriers alike. 

    These acquisitions will introduce new ways to help Tenstreet clients retain valuable resources typically lost from excessive fuel consumption and driver detention time while helping to alleviate drivers’ daily frustrations and reduce turnover.

    Since Tenstreet’s acquisition of Stay Metrics in November of 2020, Tenstreet has been expanding its engagement and retention strategies to help for-hire and private fleets reduce turnover costs and retain drivers through engagement. Tenstreet uses driver surveys to systematically collect feedback from drivers so carriers have the opportunity to correct problems drivers face in the field, ultimately helping their clients to make better data-based decisions while improving driver satisfaction and retention rates. 

    Maximizing Profits and Reducing Turnover Through Improved Efficiencies

    Through the contributions of preferred freight brokers, carriers, and transportation management systems, Tenstreet’s Driver Pulse app will be equipped to include TLT shipper surveys that will assist in building a database capable of portraying near real-time detention delays across a growing number of shippers nationwide. With greater transparency, carriers will be able to make more informed decisions to maximize equipment efficiency and driver revenue, improve safety, and enhance driver satisfaction.

    Vnomics (short for vehicle economics) helps to improve driver behavior through real-time in-cab driver coaching to reduce fuel spend for any fleet-type, under any operating conditions. A self-described “rumble-strip for fuel efficiency,” Vnomics’ True Fuel® is an additional application layer that sits on a carrier’s existing telematics solution. By targeting behavior — not just MPG — to evaluate driver performance, carriers gain key insights into fuel and driver performance to grow more fuel-efficient. As performance improves, drivers will be incentivized through the Tenstreet Rewards platform, on which they can redeem points for items like electronics, home goods, movies, tools, and more, creating a “sticky” factor for a more dedicated fleet. 

    Both True Load Time and Vnomics’ acquisitions augment Tenstreet’s retention and engagement services by reducing the friction drivers encounter while also increasing profitability for carriers. 

    About Tenstreet
    Tenstreet’s platform connects carriers and drivers, making it easier to fill trucks while staying compliant. They help thousands of motor carriers and private fleets to market, recruit, onboard, manage, and retain drivers. Since 2006, millions of drivers have used Tenstreet’s platform to quickly and securely apply for their next job.

  • A GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY: Newmar Power Celebrates 50 Years of Manufacturing

    A GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY: Newmar Power Celebrates 50 Years of Manufacturing

    [ad_1]

    An American success story founded on the principle of providing reliable power solutions where quality and responsiveness matter

    Press Release



    updated: Nov 24, 2020

    ​​Newmar Power is celebrating five decades of providing reliable power solutions for telecom, public safety, rail, traffic, marine, and industrial applications. 

    Newmar’s story began in 1970 with an engineer by the name of Wess George, who stocked parts to service boats at the Newport Beach, CA marina. Eventually, George designed and built his first product, a voltage converter for a radio company. In this humble fashion, a small business was born as a side project in George’s garage. 

    In 1990, Newmar began designing products with 2-way radio technology and 48V capability which allowed them to participate in telecom and cellular applications. Backup power solutions and remote monitoring systems aimed at the public safety and transportation markets followed closely afterward. 

    Decades later, Newmar retains the DNA of the original company, maintains a manufacturing plant in the USA, and has established a strong reputation as a trusted brand in every industry it serves.

    In 2017, Newmar was purchased by Windjammer Capital and joined the Mission Critical Electronics (MCE) family which includes other popular industrial brands such as American Battery Charging. The network and industrial product portfolios have since expanded and include a range of AC and DC products for various applications. In its 50th year, Newmar launched a new backup power solution for indoor and outdoor applications – the Rugged AC UPS, focused on serving traffic and public safety applications.

    Today, Newmar is headquartered in Huntington Beach, CA, and is under the leadership of  Richard Gaudet, who heads multiple businesses including Newmar, American Battery Charging, ASEA Power Systems, and the marine division of Xantrex. When asked about the significance of this 50-year milestone, Gaudet said, “Celebrating five decades of business is no small feat for any organization, but we are especially proud of the commitment the Newmar team continues to make to the founding principles of quality, reliability, and being responsive to our customers.”

    Newmar is a classic example of an all-American organization with deep roots in the sectors it serves. From humble beginnings to powerful player in the power electronics industry, Newmar is the brand trusted by professionals across network, industrial, public safety, traffic, and marine industries worldwide.

    ​Newmar Power, a Mission Critical Electronics company and a leading manufacturer of power electronic solutions for public safety and telecom, today announced a product expansion to new markets with the launch of its uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) called Rugged AC UPS series. Specifically engineered for telecom, public safety, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)/traffic, the Rugged AC UPS is a dependable solution for all outdoor, network or industrial applications where loss of power is unacceptable or carries a high cost.

    As more critical electronic devices and systems are deployed in outdoor and extreme environments, the need for reliable battery backup power is growing significantly. The Rugged AC UPS can operate in temperature conditions ranging from -40° C to 80° C and is suitable for outdoor applications such as traffic lights, digital signage, and e-tolling systems. Newmar Power’s new battery backup solution features a wide AC input voltage range of 88–152V AC and a wide range Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) which allows the UPS to stay in normal operation without transferring to back-up mode during temporary voltage irregularities. The Rugged AC UPS’s built-in temperature-compensated battery charger helps to maximize battery life. Certified to UL 1778/CSA 107.3 and FCC Class A emissions, the Rugged AC UPS is a reliable solution that ensures critical equipment is protected and running, even when power is abnormal or unavailable.

    “Newmar Power is already a trusted name in the telecom and public safety space, so we are very excited to enter new segments of the transportation sector including ITS/traffic,” says Richard Gaudet, President of Network and Industrial Power business at Mission Critical Electronics, the parent company of Newmar Power. “We are eager to apply our decades of earned experience and knowledge to similar industries, which is evidenced by our latest solution, the Rugged AC UPS.”

  • New Report Finds One in Three Illinois Households Can’t Afford Basic Needs

    New Report Finds One in Three Illinois Households Can’t Afford Basic Needs

    [ad_1]

    Over one million working households in the state live above the poverty line but still don’t earn enough for necessities

    Press Release



    updated: Mar 4, 2020

    ​​​​​​​​​​​​​Thirty-six​ percent of Illinois households have incomes below the state’s cost of living, according to new data from the report “ALICE in Illinois: A Financial Hardship Study.” The report was funded by the United Way of Illinois and led by Dr. Stephanie Hoopes, Director of the ALICE project, a national research initiative. 

    ALICE, an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, are households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the state (the ALICE Threshold). Of Illinois’ 4,817,547 households, 12 percent earn below the Federal Poverty Level and another 24 percent are ALICE households.

    “People living below the ALICE Threshold live and work in our communities, but struggle to stay afloat financially,” said Sue Grey, Board Chair of United Way of Illinois and President and CEO of United Way of Champaign County. “Low wages, the need to string together multiple part-time or contract jobs to get sufficient working hours, and the high cost of living in our state mean that many working people, from cashiers to cleaners, aren’t making enough to get by. This impacts all of us, as people living below the ALICE Threshold do not have the disposable income to support and drive the state economy.”  

    A mismatch between wages and cost of living contributes to the problem. Statewide, the Household Survival Budget for two adults and two young children requires one full-time income at an hourly wage of $28.57, but 56 percent of jobs in Illinois pay less than $20 per hour. 

    Despite the documented economic recovery, the share of Illinois households living below the ALICE Threshold increased between 2007 and 2017, the latest year for which data is available. In 2007, 31 percent of Illinois households were below the ALICE Threshold. By 2017, that number had climbed to 36 percent. In Chicago, 43 percent of households are below the ALICE Threshold. 

    “The United Way’s critical report on the hardship facing so many Chicagoans fills an important data gap on the working families throughout our city struggling to make ends meet every day,” said Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot. “Their challenge is our City’s challenge, and my team will partner with United Way’s leadership to advance our shared agenda to end economic hardship and grow and strengthen the middle class in Chicago.”

    ALICE households exist throughout all parts of Illinois and include people of all ages, races and ethnicities, and educational levels. However, Black and Hispanic households are more likely than White and Asian households to be below the ALICE threshold. 

    “This problem can’t be solved with one change, because the high cost of living is driven by many factors,” Grey said. “Government agencies, nonprofits, communities and businesses need to work together to create change that improves the quality of life for the ALICE population and our communities across Illinois as a whole.” 

    For the full report, including a county-by-county breakdown of the data, as well as information on the largest cities and towns in Illinois and specific Chicago neighborhoods, visit unitedwayillinois.org/ALICE​. For sources and comments, contact Walker Post at 312-955-0921 or walker@prosper-strategies.com.

    United Way of Illinois (UWI) is a statewide association of local United Way organizations representing communities across Illinois. UWI fights to create lasting community change by helping children and youth succeed in school, promoting financial stability and family independence and improving the health of all Illinois residents.

    United For ALICE is a driver of innovation, shining a light on the challenges ALICE households face and seeking collaborative solutions. Through a standardized methodology that assesses the cost of living in every county, this project provides a comprehensive look at financial hardship across the United States.
