Explaining the behaviour of truck drivers during the COVID-19 times, Deepak Garg, Founder, Rivigo, says, “We have realised that truck drivers wanted to become relay drivers more than the long-haul drivers. Relay trucking has become an option for our truck drivers, and this has become possible in these times only because we were using technology meaningfully much before. We have deployed lot of censors and converted every truck into IoT device.”
“We are using technology to connect with our workforce and to interact with them more seamlessly. Every truck driver, in our case, is on pilot app and everything can be done right from the duty allocation to change-over process, health insurance etc,” he adds.
