Truce Software recently partnered with Fleetio to help field-service organizations connect vehicle health, fleet operations, and driver safety. The company combines its mobile technology with Fleetio’s fleet management capabilities to give organizations a broader view of vehicle readiness, operating costs, and employee driving behavior.

Fleetio manages vehicles, equipment, maintenance, inspections, fuel, parts, and operating expenses through a centralized platform. Its mobile tools allow field teams to complete inspections, report vehicle issues, review service histories, and submit repair requests while on the job.

Truce provides employee-specific driving safety and performance insights through mobile devices, AI video safety, and telematics. Its platform is designed to prevent device-distracted driving and associate driving events, including speeding, braking, acceleration, seatbelt use, stop-sign compliance, and following distance, with individual employees.

Because Truce tracks performance at the employee level rather than the vehicle level, driving records and coaching plans follow technicians between vehicles. Fleetio’s maintenance data and Truce’s driver performance insights can be considered together to help managers identify trends, coach employees, and make better-informed operational decisions.

"Service fleets cannot afford to look at vehicle condition and driver performance as separate issues," said David Coleman, head of commercial solutions at Truce. "A well-maintained vehicle still depends on a focused, responsible driver, and safe drivers need reliable vehicles to do their jobs. Our partnership with Fleetio helps field-service companies connect those priorities so they can reduce risk, improve uptime, and protect the people and assets that keep their businesses moving."

What this means for the trucking industry

Connecting maintenance records with individual driver performance can help fleet managers identify risks that may be harder to spot when vehicle and safety data are reviewed separately. Field-service fleets could use the combined information to prioritize maintenance, tailor driver coaching, and assess how vehicle condition and driving behavior affect uptime, operating costs, and safety.
