Finding capacity and orchestrating communication along supply chains.

Spireon’s Managed Services provides one-on-one guidance with industry experts to optimize trailer utilization and maximize fleets’ return on investment.

Findings from a recent Spireon white paper survey, conducted in conjunction with FreightWaves, found that about 40% of carriers reported losing more than $500 per trailer per week in detention costs.

Previously, the camera images from its ITM system were available only to Spireon itself.

Spireon has integrated its trailer management system, FleetLocate, with P.S.I.’s tire pressure monitoring system, giving users new insight into tire pressures and temperatures. Plus, coronavirus is impacting nearly all shippers, DSV plans job cuts, and who will succeed Jimmy Haslam at Pilot?

This white paper examines ways to combat detention by looking at smarter detention management solutions to alleviate bottlenecks.

This white paper shares how companies can work to take full advantage of everything that smart trailers offer.

The fleet management platform features an improved user interface and advanced engine diagnostics.

While the majority of truckers transitioned over to electronic logging devices, or ELDs, in their cabs to digitally track their daily driving hours over a year ago, some fleets that run automatic onboard recording devices, or AOBRDs, have until December 16, 2019, to make the switch.

Getting better use from your logistics assets, whether it be drivers, trucks, trailers, or general staff, is a major theme of Transparency19. And the Rapid-Fire Demonstrations on the second day of the event illustrated the many ways up-and-coming companies are doing just that. Emerge Tech Grant Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of Emerge Tech, said the […]

While the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate has indeed improved hours of service (HOS) compliance, a recent study found that the mandate’s potential safety impacts, which are often discussed, have not come to pass.

The vehicle intelligence company, closed out the year with eight awards and significant year-over-year growth across transportation, fleet and franchise dealer business units.

Driver detention has been causing headaches and lost wages for years, but the ELD mandate has shone a spotlight on the issue like never before. For the first time, carriers have the data to back up what they have always known.

Spireon has patented its technology approach to managing an automotive dealership’s vehicle inventory by pairing a tracking device to a vehicle, making this the 30th patent secured by Spireon for advanced connected vehicle technologies.

Spireon hosted a webinar in collaboration with FreightWaves earlier this week to explore the importance of building a fleet safety culture and how to do it the right way.

The webinar is planned for 2 p.m. EST or 11 a.m. PST on Thursday, Nov. 15.

A wide range of technological solutions for supply chains seeking efficiencies will be on display at MarketWaves near Dallas November 12-13.

Spireon has new financial backing and a market that still has a lot of trailers without GPS tracking.

Greenbriar Equity invests an undisclosed amount in Spireon, becoming its primary investor in the process. Spireon believes this partnership would help it with operational flexibility and in expanding its network across different verticals in the transportation sector.

Spireon hosted a webinar in collaboration with FreightWaves earlier this week to explore how the DRIVE-Safe Act could affect the driver shortage if it becomes law.

As capacity continues to shrink and demand continues to rise, the need for efficiency in every step of the supply chain is more important than ever. Get a bird’s eye view into your trailer with Spireon’s IntelliScan technology.

Fuel remains among the largest costs for both carriers and shippers but based on the current practice of using a fuel surcharge to mitigate volatility in pricing, both parties remain at risk of ending up on the losing end of the deal.

The telematics revolution is creating a vast data lake, but now the industry has to figure out how to navigate it.

The final session of Demo Day on Tuesday at FreightWaves’ Transparency18 conference did not disappoint, building on the success of the first three sessions and closing out the day, which ended with a BBQ sponsored by Triumph and a performance from the Emerald City band for attendees.

Smart Trailers:  How the new “IoT” can help improve trailer health and optimize utilization across trailer pools.

Interest is surging in making the trailer data as visible as that of the truck.

Spireon is hoping to solve trailer tracking issues for mixed fleets that require customization with its FL Flex modular trailer tracking solution.

For many fleets, the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate presents a new variable in the regulatory landscape that must be carefully navigated. Following best practices will help fleet managers identify the most common mistakes and pitfalls that may result in a fine, expensive roadside delays or even worse, a business shutdown.

In the early days of trailer tracking, companies were simply looking for missing trailers. But technology has advanced, and trailer tracking is trying to keep pace. Now, the data generated by trailers can rival that of tractors, and properly managing that data could generate more revenue potential for carriers than ever before.

In its simplest form, the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate is designed to replace paper logbooks to better track drivers’ Record of Duty Status (RODS) and ensure compliance with hours-of-service (HOS) requirements. In theory, these rules help improve driver safety and reduce fatigue, but fleet managers can’t expect the rule to eliminate driver fatigue.
