Join ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) for an overview of its first report on trailer rental/lease fleet owners’ use and adoption of intelligence products and services. This presentation will highlight several key findings of the report and how available technologies will help the industry advance so fleets can achieve goals for safety, maintainability, and readiness. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, June 30 at 2 PM EST.
TMC’s North American Trailer Rental/Lease Company Survey Report is focused on Trailer Rental/Lease Fleet companies. Twelve of the top 15 companies in North America responded to the written survey and each participated in a follow up 60-minute video conference. These fleets, combined, represent nearly 10 percent of all trailers in operation. While dry vans represent the largest percentage, reefers/heaters, flatbeds, container chassis, and other types are included.
The survey focused on several key areas of smart trailer technology adoption:
- Current technologies offered to customers
- Brands of smart products selected and offered
- Experience with those products and their performance reliability
- Rental customer demand and feedback
- Field operations issues and challenges
- Decision drivers on future smart trailer offerings
