video transcript-
DPL Telematics, a provider of advanced asset monitoring and telemetry technologies, has released its AssetView Stealth Tracking System, an advanced solution for wireless monitoring and remote tracking of any powered or unpowered asset. The small, portable GPS unit is completely self-contained and may be hidden on any asset.
AssetView Stealth allows managers to remotely monitor any asset accurately from an Internet-based software package and mobile app.
The unit features no external wiring or antenna; internal battery power supplied by 2 AA batteries; tamper detection; long battery life; wireless, two-way communication; a waterproof IP 68 and IK07 rated design; tip & impact detection; complete GNSS coverage; global cellular coverage; and a month to month service agreement.
Trailer-sharing platform REPOWR has announced an integration with carrier identity platform Highway, empowering REPOWR's equipment owners and 3PL partners to securely share trailers with vetted carriers. Carriers using the trailers of others are asked to complete carrier packet to haul loads.
This integration ensures that trailer providers gain real-time access to comprehensive carrier data from Highway within the REPOWR platform, setting a new standard for accuracy and market intelligence when exchanging trailers with third-party carriers. The data continuously updates within the REPOWR platform, ensuring that carrier authority, insurance coverage (especially trailer interchange coverage), and more remain up-to-date for the entire life of the trailer exchange.
Bestpass has added new integration features within the Geotab ecosystem that will enable Geotab customers to access new insights regarding toll activity to more effectively manage tolls and identify opportunities to reduce toll expenses.
This “Phase 2” version of the integration with Geotab further enhances the information and tools Bestpass and non-Bestpass customers can use to learn more about toll activity, be proactive with their toll data, and manage toll-related tasks within the MyGeotab interface and allows fleets of all sizes to predict future toll spend by taking into account items such as upcoming rate changes, vehicle adds or deletes, and current travel patterns.
With this feature, fleet managers can replace or re-assign vehicle transponders and order transponders for new vehicles directly through Geotab. In addition to other reporting tools already available through the Bestpass - Geotab integration, this feature will help fleets more effectively manage toll violations and losses caused by incorrectly assigned, missing, lost, or misused transponders.
For Geotab customers not using Bestpass, there is now a new toll estimate tool that fleets and owner-operators can access to receive free Bestpass toll savings estimates.

Why aren’t more carriers using heavy-duty electric trucks?
Переглядів 33112 годин тому
Like it or not, electric trucks are probably going to be the next biggest thing in trucking at some point. AT SOME POINT - because depending on who you talk to, that point in time is either already here, a few years away or a few decades away. EVs right now are making the most impact in a few places: where miles traveled are really low, where cargo volume is low (or light), or where they are ba...

    You should be able to use marijuana on your down time, obviously never using it while operating. Yes I get the whole federal vs state cannabis laws but holy shit it’s 2024 this is America let truckers have the same rights as citizens once the schedule changes. They treat us like we are on fucking probation while we keep this country running we aren’t criminals

    I’ve been a trucker since 2015. I injured my back years ago at the gym and found weed helps the most with the pain without the side effects of pills. I’m always scared of losing my livelihood because of what I do on my own time and how I choose to medicate. I’m leaving the business soon, it’s gotten way too regulated and politicized. The industry is trash now and not worth the bs!

    I will have NO part in owning or renting a light duty EV or anything larger either, GARBAGE! @1:20 the useless comic books really take away from this mans' credibility, sir that stuff is useless, use it for toilet paper or burn it because that's the only useful thing it can be used for in life, or maybe soak up an oil puddle... Be a man. That cost estimate thing, the electric rates can flucuate quite a bit depending on what utility company supplies the charger, that's not a locked in rate just like buying fuel, it can vary, and as demand for electricity goes up so will the cost for all the rest of us too. Delo is good, but I've been using Rotella T6 for a long time, you won't talk me out of it or into a truck with a DPF to care about lol.
