Long Haul Market Solution

Commercial transportation logistics management (TLM) fleet solutions have traditionally been employed by only a few large carriers and vertical market segments that could afford the cost of fleet management hardware and services.  Large-scale commercial transportation logistics fleet management systems provide both data communications and tracking, but the complexity of these advanced fleet management systems and the overhead costs made them impractical for smaller operations. This has recently changed, where fleets of all sizes have embraced TLM solutions that have become more cost-effective and affordable. With the demand created by more than 92 million trucks and truck tractors operating in the USA alone, transportation logistics management services have become more widely available for other transportation segments to track vehicle movements, cargo, and rolling stock.

Market advantages for trailer tracking systems include:
