What is FMS (Fleet Management Software)?
Fleet Management Software (FMS) helps carriers and private fleets manage trucks, trailers, drivers, fuel, maintenance, and compliance from a single platform. It typically combines telematics, ELD/HOS, fuel and IFTA reporting, maintenance scheduling, and driver performance into one operational view. The right FMS lowers cost-per-mile, extends asset life, and keeps the fleet DOT compliant.
