Truckers can use an app to take a photo of a flat tire, getting a mechanic to the scene quickly and hitting the road again
Devices mounted in many truck companies’ cabs plan and direct the best delivery routes, taking into account traffic and weather conditions. Photo: Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg News By Angus Loten June 5, 2019 5:30 a.m. ET Volker Condron was recently driving an 18-wheel rig on a highway near Mount Vernon, Texas, when his truck blew a tire—a common hazard that can add several hours to a scheduled delivery, he said.
The new capabilities leverage over 10 million data points, many of which are generated by interconnected sensors and other hardware that Hub Group has been adding to its trucks for the past two years, said Vava Dimond, the company’s chief information officer. It said incumbent companies are feeling pressure to update their systems from digital shipping and logistics startups, which have garnered more than $3.3 billion in venture-capital funding since 2012, and may be attractive acquisitions for companies with truck fleets.
United Parcel Service Inc., for instance, uses a platform to calculate the most efficient delivery route for its drivers, who make an average of 120 stops a day.
