Special Report & Cover Story

The Changing Face of Fleet Managers...
The challenge for all transport operators today is how to effectively leverage new technology to better manage their resources - human or otherwise. It all starts with the right sort of mindset; forward-thinking decision makers and a new breed of fleet manager, a 'techno-trucker' writes Paul Collings.


Checking the FM Pulse...
Orbtech's chairman has been building Fleet Management Systems since the early 1990s. FleetWatch asked him for his thoughts on the issues driving the Fleet Management arena today


Copping Collusion...
In May this year, vehicle tracking company Tracker hit the headlines with allegations that one of its former employees had been bribed by hijacking syndicates to reveal confidential information. Paul Collings asks three tracking companies how they prevent staff from 'spilling the beans'.


Maximising Margins...
The world of trucking has changed considerably over the last ten years and winning businesses all use technology in smart ways to stay a step ahead of the competition. Bakers Transport is one such enterprise. Paul Collings speaks to Abdul Tayoob, Operations Director, about his Fleet Management approach.


Offshore and Local Advances ...
South Africa's expertise in making world-beating Fleet Management and vehicle tracking systems is appreciated around the world and several locally-based companies are securing contracts with high profile fleets in other countries. 


Managing the Interface...
Paul Collings speaks to three leading Fleet Management System suppliers to find out how they go about enhancing the human/technology interface.


Fleet Manager of the Future...
Dave Scott, our technical correspondent, outlines his views of what is required from the 'new era' fleet manager of today. There's so much more to it than meets the eye.


R5,747-billion knock-on costs to SA...
An overview of factors hampering the efficient administration and enforcement of road transport legislation and what it's all costing the country and industry; from a presentation by Max Braun at the Road Transport Legislation Workshops.


SA roads head downhill says SARF...
South Africa's road network, conservatively estimated to be worth R550-billion, is deteriorating at an alarming rate with the under-funding of road maintenance over the past 25 years being the prime cause of the problem says the SA Road Foundation. 


Neglected...
Mozambique has learnt the lesson of what happens when road maintenance is neglected.


Viva Africa - viva!...
It is a well known fact that road construction works are dangerous both for construction workers and for passing traffic.


The 5% Allowance...
It's been a long time coming but the reduction of overloading tolerances for prosecution purposes has finally been amended. Jack Webster highlights points that should be noted. 


Safety Watch

Mr President - you need to walk in the blood...
Too many accidents. Too many bodies. Too much blood. It's time to get angry at the lack of political will to change things on the road safety front.
