Trucking is the supply-chain backbone of the United States, carrying over 70% of all goods transported in the country.Â
Â
To deliver those goods, trucking companies use an array of assets. They own (or rent) trucks, containers, reefers, dumpsters, and other specific equipment for unique purposes. These assets cost money to buy or rent. They need to be always maintained in peak condition. They have to be available when the company needs them, preferably where the company needs them. This means the trucking company needs a way to know exactly what assets they hold, what condition they are in, how they are being used, and where they are at the time. And they need to have all this information in real-time and with complete transparency. That’s where asset trackers come into the picture.
Â
TruckX has a wide range of asset trackers to smartly locate an array of assets at any time and any location and provide the latest information on their status. Let’s meet the TruckX Asset Tracker family of solutions.
