Blue Ink Tech, a creator of real-time fleet telematics data, recently added the BIT Dashcam to its Blue Ink Tech fleet management platform. The dashcam is the latest in their lineup of real-time telematics tools that integrate into a command center, providing enterprise-wide visibility into vehicle and load weight data.
“We anticipated the need for an all-in-one platform with a connected dashcam,” Blue Ink Tech’s Mike Riegel said. “So many carriers are using multiple systems that require drivers and office staff to use a dozen different apps. With one system capable of providing dashcam footage, harsh driving alerts, vehicle weight readings, GPS location, and ELD data back to the office in real-time, everyone’s job becomes significantly easier.”

BIT Dashcams connect automatically to BIT Air Scale sensors, providing fleet managers with real-time gross and axle weight data. With the dashcam’s built-in cellular modem, data can be sent to the cloud without driver intervention, providing unmatched visibility across the entire fleet.
“It’s no secret that data is going to make trucking more efficient in the long term,” Riegel said. “One of the areas we’re excited to have an impact on with our new dash camera is around truck scaling and weights. Remote access to what is on their trucks in real-time helps companies maximize loads without getting overloaded or risking DOT fines, which directly increases revenue. This scaling problem has gone largely unaddressed in the industry for decades.”
