trucking industry solutions
for when you are driving the supply chain

- Deliveries can be physically demanding and labor-intensive.
- Surges in freight demand and the desire for faster deliveries continue to increase while the supply of commercial truck drivers falls, forcing higher shipping rates.
- The Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate dramatically reduces the number of hours truckers can
drive; failure to adhere can result in stiff penalties and fines. - The desire for greater sustainability increases the emphasis on emission reduction and other green initiatives.
