LTI Trucking Services invests in feet-wide cold chain monitoring solution 01 November 2017

LTI Trucking Services, a US truckload carrier and full-service logistics company based in St. Louis, MO, has selected ORBCOMM to provide its cold chain telematics solution to track, monitor and control its fleet of refrigerated trailers. ORBCOMM will provide cellular connectivity, state-of-the-art hardware, wireless fuel and door sensors, along with a web-based reporting platform for optimal fleet management.

There is increasing demand from customers to ensure quick delivery times, real-time visibility of shipment status and location, and proof of product integrity.

LTI will use ORBCOMM’s cold chain telematics solution to provide comprehensive temperature, fuel management and maintenance data for its refrigerated trailer fleet transporting perishable food, beverage and confectionary products.

Leveraging ORBCOMM’s solution, LTI will fully integrate the data with its proprietary back-office platform to optimize asset utilisation and compliance with the FDA’s Food Safety Modernisation Act (FSMA). ORBCOMM’s advanced solution also integrates closely with McLeod LoadMaster transportation management platform. The Loadmaster two-way interface enables LTI to capture near real-time trailer data, including operational condition and GPS position, through one comprehensive system.

LTI believes that ORBCOMM offers the most robust solution with the best end-to-end service on the market to meet customers’ needs. LTI Trucking Services is currently installing the ORBCOMM solution and expects to complete full fleet deployment in Q1, 2018.
