Pushing the Telematics Boundaries

A truck&rsquo;s telematics unit acts as a communications hub, transmitting data from various sensors and systems on the truck. While they send the collected data back to the fleet, they also receive data such as driver instructions, or commands to various devices such as the refrigeration unit.

As the amount and kind of data has increased in recent years, fleets have adopted tools to make sense of all that information and use it across their operation.
