He’s almost there: this snapshot of our Spot tracking shows Allen’s progress today in the PhotoBoat truck with a dinghy in tow. He’s on track for a total of 14 hours elapsed between CT and Charleston. Having this type of technology built into his truck has never been more beneficial for us, as without it, we wouldn’t be able to effectively keep track of him. In fact, it doesn’t come as a surprise to learn that many companies who employ commercial drivers also do the same. Technology is changing the way truck companies operate, from tracking software all the way to employment software such as https://www.tenstreet.com/. If drivers are going to be driving trucks on long-haul journeys it’s important to get the best driver paired with the best truck tech. With the help of places like Lytx, and their fleet management solutions, it provides critical insight on the job and on the road, all through telematics. You could say that we are using something similar here because we are able to track him on his journey, although ours may not be as advanced as this. Regardless of this though, we all have the intention of remaining as safe as possible on the roads, and these types of systems will only improve this going forward. And, of course, there will be times when problems arise that have nothing to do with the technology, at which point we might choose to contact someone like this Houston Commercial Truck repair. So, here’s a link to his live track, updated every hour or so, and generally more meant for use out on the water as a safety device: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0Aoq1CE7cpz3ZlcQIXmVX0qs8CCSV4lR1
Next on the agenda is Charleston Race Week, and we’re ready to hit the ground running when racing begins on Friday. The event has had record entries this year, and the one design course in particular is going to be full of action. The Viper fleet is strong in numbers and some Laser Performance SB3s will be joining the event for the first time this year. The action should be good as usual in the Melges 24, J 24, and J 80 classes, as well as the offshore courses.
PhotoBoat is your source for Charleston Race Week photos, so check the site for daily highlights and galleries sorted by boat name, as always.
