Case Study: Hoekstra Transportation achieves pristine safety and HOS compliance with Trimble's PeopleNet eDriver Logs

How Trimble eDriver Logs Helped a Regional Carrier Keep Its Pristine Compliance and Safety Records Intact

Hoekstra Transportation, a 100‑truck regional carrier based south of Chicago operating in 10 Midwestern states with 95 drivers, needed to preserve its pristine safety and compliance record while managing variable short‑haul dock times, hours‑of‑service (HOS) constraints and rising insurance costs. The company sought a way to improve planning visibility, ensure drivers get adequate rest, and avoid disruptions to retention and operations.

Hoekstra implemented PeopleNet eDriver Logs with a gradual 10‑month rollout and short video orientations, giving dispatchers real‑time HOS visibility and drivers an easier, paper‑free workflow. The system eliminated log hassles at inspections, reduced back‑office work, improved load planning, kept insurance and risk down, and increased driver satisfaction and retention while maintaining the carrier’s strong safety and compliance record.
