US commercial trucking is a $500 billion market, staffed by 4 million trucks and drivers moving 65 percent of the nation’s goods. Commercial vehicle telematics has contributed significantly to improving the productivity and efficiency of trucking operations. Telematics systems use the global positioning system (GPS) to determine the locations of trucks and wireless communication technologies to exchange information between trucks and dispatchers, facilitating more efficient scheduling, greater driver productivity, enhanced safety and security, remote vehicle diagnostics, automation of back-office functions, and regulatory compliance.
