Driver Management Software
What is Driver Management Software?
Driver management software is a type of trucking software that allows you to effectively manage drivers, their data, and related records in a logistics company. It is most often an integral module of a transportation management system. In TMS software for carriers and in TMS for owner operators, driver management takes a special place. After all, drivers in trucking companies are a key component of their success. It is fair to say that along with driver management software, fleet management software is equally important for trucking companies.
