Why Fleet Data Matters More Than Ever at Waste Connections [Watch]

How do you manage and maintain more than 18,000 connected trucks? Data. Lots of it.

Waste Connections' Chuck Palmer explains how telematics, predictive maintenance, safety analytics, and artificial intelligence help keep the fleet's trucks on the road and its drivers safe in this episode of HDT Talks Trucking.

Palmer talked to HDT Editor & Associate Publisher Deborah Lockridge at an industry conference earlier this year about how Waste Connections has grown its telematics program from just 35 trucks to more than 18,000 connected vehicles, using data to improve fleet visibility, predictive maintenance, safety performance, and driver coaching.

Topics include:

• Using telematics to improve fleet management and operational visibility
• Predictive maintenance and preventing costly breakdowns
• Accident reconstruction and safety analytics
• Driver coaching and the evolution of in-cab camera acceptance
• How video technology helps exonerate professional drivers
• Why EV adoption may take longer than many expect
• The rapid rise of artificial intelligence in trucking
