“Through FourKites’ solution, we can provide shippers with real-time updates and ETAs, while making life easier – and safer – for drivers,” AFN CFO Rob Levy said. “Having location data readily accessible allows drivers to focus on navigation and driving safely, instead of answering status calls and emails.
