Case Study: North American Roofing achieves nationwide fleet visibility and DOT compliance with Trimble Fleet Management

North American Roofing Improves Nationwide Fleet Operations With Trimble Fleet Management

North American Roofing, a family-owned pioneer in single‑ply commercial roofing headquartered in Asheville, NC, operates nationwide on thousands of facilities for clients like Best Buy and Lowe’s. With crews dispersed across the country, the company faced inefficiencies and compliance risk from manual, handwritten driver logs and limited visibility into vehicle locations, hours and behavior—making it hard to enforce DOT Hours of Service rules and manage productivity.

To solve this, North American Roofing deployed Trimble’s cloud-based Fleet Management and its electronic Driver Logs, giving real‑time GPS visibility, automated hours‑of‑service records, and driver alerts for speeding and unsafe behavior. The system cut paperwork, improved accuracy and productivity, strengthened DOT compliance and safety, reduced liability and insurance exposure, and transformed fleet oversight so managers can quickly locate vehicles and address issues.
