Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking Inc.
From the very beginning, Zonar’s done a great job of explaining the steps you need to take to make the transition, and they had tons of support documents for us and our drivers too. Some weeks I’ll speak with their customer service multiple times each day, and they’ve always been a great help on troubleshooting and explaining the differences between AOBRD and ELD, or identifying the solution they have to a particular problem.
Sheena Brooks, Logistics Analyst
City of North Port, Solid Waste Division
Zonar has saved North Port time, fuel and money. Employee morale is improved because drivers don’t have to worry about providing proof of location or work completed with Zonar. The program helps our leadership manage 40+ staff members and run an operation that has received national awards from the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) and the National Waste & Recycling Association.
Michael Fear, Community Outreach Coordinator

The competitive advantage Zonar gave to us was accuracy and confidence. We can now report accurate bus stop times to parents with the confidence of them being correct.

A Director should be concerned about not only up-front costs, but long-term costs. Zonar provides data that can be utilized in long-range planning efforts that will impact a school district and/ or organization for years, potentially decades, to come.
