Bennett CIO on 24 years of trucking tech transformation

When Praveen Boppana started as a programmer at Bennett International Group more than two decades ago, the company was still heavily reliant on paper-based processes for tracking driver hours. Back then, before electronic logging devices, drivers mailed in their logs weekly. A dedicated logs department audited every page by hand, and violations were flagged only after a partner sifted through stacks of documentation. “Everything was manual at that time,” Boppana told FreightWaves in an interview at Motive’s Vision 26 event.
