Our Fleet

Fleet-wide Samsara telematics provide in-cab cameras, GPS tracking, and operational monitoring from pickup to delivery.

Full shipment tracking through Project44 and FourKites, compatible with most major TMS platforms. EDI and API data flows give your freight team real-time status without extra overhead. Our equipment meets or exceeds DOT and FMCSA standards — maintained on schedule, not on hope.
