Case Study: Drury Southwest achieves safer drivers and simplified IFTA and ELD compliance with FleetLocate

Drury Southwest - Customer Case Study

Drury Southwest, part of the family-owned Drury Hotels group, runs construction projects and a small fleet that includes two full‑time CDL tractors plus flatbeds and trailers for hauling equipment across state lines. Extensive long‑haul travel created a heavy administrative burden: IFTA reporting was time‑consuming and error‑prone, and the company needed to meet the ELD mandate while keeping drivers productive.

In mid‑2016 Drury Southwest implemented FleetLocate (Spireon) to automate mileage capture and electronic logging. The solution drastically reduced IFTA processing time, ensured ELD compliance, and freed drivers from manual logs. Real‑time alerts for speeding and hard braking improved coaching and fleet safety, delivering clear ROI through saved administrative time and safer, more productive drivers.
