Since 2020 multiple calamitous disruptions have plagued the waste and recycling industry, from COVID-19 and an ongoing driver shortage to skyrocketing fuel prices and looming recession. Amid unprecedented changes, forward-thinking municipal and private haulers with well-integrated techlogy have emerged as more resilient. Such was the case for the City of Loveland, Colorado, whose solid waste division found itself better equipped than most to adjust work on the fly when staff called in sick, vie for drivers with the likes of rising delivery services, limit fuel consumption with well-planned routes, and future-proof the organization to the extent possible with data-informed forecasts. Hear from Loveland on best practices for using techlogy and data to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. After this session, participants will be able to:
• Recognize how techlogy helps municipal haulers attract and retain driving talent, onboard and train, support and coach, and cover absences.
• Recognize how to use techlogy, including in-cab computers, software, cameras, and smart sensors, to improve service, reduce phone calls, and capture lost revenue.
• Recognize how improved routing leads to better outcomes, from fuel and vehicle maintenance savings to increased driver satisfaction.
