Truck Fleet with 800 Vehicles Turns to Telematics for Efficiencies
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq:ORBC), a global provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions, has announced that it has been selected by Decker Truckline, Inc. to provide telematics services – a tracking and monitoring solution — for its fleet of 800 refrigerated trailers.
Founded in 1931, Decker is a diversified carrier, transporting flatbed, refrigerated and dry van freight throughout North America.
Decker will use ORBCOMM’s RT6000+, a two-way cold chain telematics device that provides comprehensive temperature, fuel management, maintenance, and logistical applications services for its refrigerated fleet. ORBCOMM also will provide a robust web application with data reporting and analytics capabilities to increase in-transit visibility and efficiency of Decker’s refrigerated transport operations.
The goal for Decker is clear: Integrate the trailer data with its back-office platform to gain significant fuel savings, optimize temperature compliance, prevent unauthorized usage, and reduce maintenance costs.
