Trailer Telematics Give You the Edge
3 Keys to Unlocking Usage-Based Maintenance Opportunities with Telematics
Telematics can help you drastically reduce maintenance expenses by performing preventative measures instead of reacting to an issue after the fact. Telematics software alerts you when your trailer or a component has a fault or issue. It also allows you to factor inclement weather, load weight, tire inflation frequency and other metrics into a predictive maintenance strategy to resolve issues before they sideline your asset or cause a costly and potentially dangerous roadside event.
How Trailer Telematics Can Help Your Fleet Weather a Disaster
Hurricanes, tornadoes, torrential downpours, snow storms, and wildfires are destructive forces that no one can truly prepare for—but this blog explains how telematics can help you reroute your drivers if they’re headed into danger. FleetPulse collects GPS tracking data, giving you the ability to direct your drivers to alternate routes if a weather event is imminent or if an area has been affected by a natural disaster, allowing you to mitigate risks and slowdowns for your fleet and cargo. It also helps ensure your trailers are in optimal condition through predictive maintenance should they encounter unexpected weather.

When it comes to maintenance, efficiency, and safety, the distance your assets travel isn’t the only important metric to consider. This blog shows that load weight, speed, frequent stops, and incline and decline can have a significant effect on your trailer’s service needs.
