Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) systems help trucking companies move shipments more efficiently and reliably by obtaining and making optimal decisions based on up-to-date information about container locations and contents.
Typical systems involve:
- GPS, computer, and communication system in each truck, vessel, or airplane.
- Central computer which tracks locations of containers
- Barcoded (or otherwise numbered) containers and pallets to keep track of loads that are grouped together.
CVO components include:
- Fleet Administration
- Electronic Clearance
- Freight Administration
- International Border Crossing Clearance
- Commercial Vehicle Administrative Processes
- Weigh-In-Motion (WIM)
- Roadside CVO Safety
- On-Board Safety Monitoring
- CVO Fleet Maintenance
- Hazardous Material Planning and Incident Response
- Freight In-Transit Monitoring
- Freight Terminal Management
