For the roughly four million class 8 trailers in the United States, there has been a persistent issue of complexity and lack of visibility across a fleet. Historically, companies have used a patchwork of homegrown or combined systems to capture trailer data on maintenance, uptime, and safety. And while those unfamiliar with this market may think that a trailer is just a ‘box on wheels’, modern day trailers are now highly sophisticated assets with ample digitization applications: wheel temperature and vibration, tire inflation/deflation, braking pressure and disc systems, accelerometer and weight readings/signals, exterior camera applications, door positioning and intelligence, backup sensors and lighting, interior cargo cameras and temperature sensors, solar panel applications, GPS locating devices, tank pressure sensors, and so many more trailer-specific applications. While most of these solutions have typically been focused on the truck and in-cab telematics, almost no one has catered to bringing modern technologies to the trailer.

FleetPulse serves as a trailer diagnostics platform, digitizing data inputs and offering visibility on the trailer itself, enabling many trailer-related improvements in safety, reliability, cargo security, and efficiency that are unattainable with traditional, truck-focused telematics solutions. With FleetPulse technology, the trailer becomes a smart asset, eliminating the need to manage multiple telematics suppliers, integrate raw sensor data, or build a solution in-house. This streamlined approach better informs operations, maintenance, and investment decisions. Actionable insights also enable fleets to operate more sustainably, from savings on fuel to encouraging preventative maintenance. And the company is able to offer its powerful end-to-end visibility into trailer safety and cargo security across the freight industry as it serves customers with OEM-agnostic wired and aftermarket telematics offerings.
