The in-cab solution allows for increased connectivity across whole truck fleets

Responsible for the innovative system is ORBCOMM Inc., a provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) tech. The wireless solution includes a cloud-based analytics platform and an information management engine.

The technology can be used to increase visibility and auditing, as well as for automated management of drivers and trucks. It also allows for GPS fleet tracking and is able to collect data from the engine, brake systems and fuel tanks. It can also correct unsafe driving behaviors.

In addition, Queen Transportation will incorporate ORBCOMM’s new scanning application into their operations, allowing their drivers to electronically submit proof of delivery paperwork. The move should result in a faster billing process and an improvement in cash flow.

Marc Eisenberg, CEO, ORBCOMM, commented on the partnership, "Queen Transportation is taking full advantage of a number of unique integrations within our platform to automate workflow, optimize driver hours of service and improve billing, and they're already seeing the benefits to their bottom line."

Doug Ostrowski, Director of Operations,Queen Transportation, added, "Our drivers find ORBCOMM's solution to be intuitive and their customer support to be top-notch. We're very happy with the fleet-wide improvements we’re seeing in driver safety and productivity as well as compliance with the ELD Mandate."
