Driver Mentality- Mandy Jones, Navarre Statamn, Nick Hoffman

These are a few sample questions on what we plan on asking a few truck drivers to see how they feel about Propel and about our project. We find that it is very important to know how the truckers feel about this because they are essentially the ones we are creating something for.

Propel is a company that installs electronic systems in a truck to show different statistics from the driver. These include things such as the effect on outside factors and how that affects miles per gallon. It can also show things that the driver might be doing to affect efficiency such as hard braking and improper shifting. They show this so that the drivers can improve and therefore improve efficiency. Propel would like to add a social media aspect to it, but we would like your opinion on the theory of their product. It’s important to us to see how you feel about this in order to create a good idea of a product for them.
