Trailers are constantly on the move in distribution yards for unloading, cleaning, loading, staging and storage. Sometimes, they get lost.
One way to solve present capacity and cost challenges is by using technology that not only provides real-time visibility to the trailer status and location but also delivers clear view of the cargo space and capacity utilization.
While new trailer orders are booming to meet capacity demands, 20% of the nation’s fleet could be sitting idle on any given day. Why?
To assess the hidden costs of trailers and understand how companies can help mitigate these costs, FreightWaves and Spireon partnered to conduct an industry survey and will be exploring the findings during a live webinar on Thursday, November 19 at 2pm ET.
SkyBitz provides the transportation and logistics industries with real-time asset tracking and data analytics from sensors and remote monitoring solutions.
