EM Rogers empowers drivers with the TRAVIS Driver App

Challenge:

For EM Rogers, one of the UK’s leading enclosed car transporters, securing safe and reliable parking for their fleet has become an increasingly critical challenge. With trucks regularly traveling across Europe, drivers often had to stop alongside the highway or at major truck stops, locations that unfortunately over time became hotspots for unauthorized persons trying to enter vehicles, particularly along the A26 in France. These incidents not only compromised driver safety but also risked significant financial penalties from the UK government, running into tens of thousands of pounds.

In addition, managing parking requests created an operational bottleneck: drivers had to call the office to request bookings, which consumed valuable time for both drivers and planners and created inefficiencies when sites were full or changes were needed.

Solution:

While searching online for available secure parkings in Europe, EM Rogers discovered TRAVIS. What stood out immediately was the access to secure yards of other transport companies, often located near the motorways, combined with competitive pricing. After positive first experiences, more and more of their drivers began using TRAVIS for parking and after a test period, E M Rogers made it a requirement for drivers to use.

The introduction of the TRAVIS Driver App marked a turning point. Instead of relying on office staff to arrange bookings, drivers could now independently search for secure- and driver facilities, compare options, and book their own parking. This shift empowered drivers, streamlined communication, and eliminated countless back-and-forth calls.

Results:

The impact on EM Rogers’ operations has been substantial:

• Driver safety and security: Parking in secure yards significantly reduced risks of break-ins and fuel theft, ensuring peace of mind for both drivers and the company.
• Eliminated penalties: Since implementing TRAVIS, EM Rogers has avoided costly fines linked to unauthorized persons hiding in trailers.
• Freed up office time: The Driver App removed the time-consuming task of handling parking reservations, allowing planners and managers to focus on other priorities.
• Wider adoption: Drivers across Europe are increasingly using TRAVIS services, not just for trips back to the UK but throughout all their routes.

Looking ahead, EM Rogers plans to expand its use of TRAVIS, including truck wash services. And continues to encourage all drivers to integrate the App into their daily routines.
