TrailerTRACS

Qualcomm has installed over 35,000 TrailerTRACS system units worldwide, helping fleets improve their operations and profitability. The TrailerTRACS system is a stealth-mounted unit that works in conjunction with our EutelTRACS mobile communication system to provide visibility into trailer locations and key operational events by sending critical trailer-management data to dispatch in near real-time.

For refrigerated trailers, the TrailerTRACS system allows you to monitor in-transit temperature and to trigger alarms for dispatch, reducing cargo losses and improving customer service. Affordable, reliable, and robust, the TrailerTRACS system reduces the time between an empty trailer and a profitable load while increasing cargo security and improving operational efficiency.

Benefits

• Trailer Data
  TrailerTRACS asset management system offers timely and accurate trailer data, including trailer verification, drop-and-hook information, in-transit and drop location, street-level mapping, and reefer monitoring.
  
  
• Trailer Utilization
  You can turn your trailers faster with timely location and cargo-status data and find available trailers quickly. You can also integrate the trailer-management data with your dispatch and back-office applications.
  
  
• Tractor And Driver Productivity
  Verify that tractors connect to the proper trailers and that the trailers are dropped at correct locations. Drivers can begin hauling loads more quickly without having to perform yard checks or trailer spotting.
  
  
• Customer Service And Cargo Protection
  Monitor on-time arrivals and departures and track the location of a loaded trailer. Verify that the appropriate trailer is used for cargo and that the load is not dropped or taken to an incorrect location. Reduce cargo claims on refrigerated loads with exception-based temperature alerts.
  
  
• Host Software Features
  Find available trailers quickly. Verify scheduled drops and hooks and integrate trailer-management data with dispatch and operations software. Trailer locations are reported at or near custom landmarks. Analyze trailer supply versus demand based on historical use. The host-based software is available for AS/400 and Windows platforms.
  
  
• Exception-Based Alerts
  Dispatchers are notified when unauthorized drops occur. Utilization is increased with Trailer Lost or Underutilized alerts. Service failures are avoided with notification of too few trailers at a location.
