We are living in the world of the Internet of Things.
From refrigerators that order our food to cars that call in their own oil changes, technology is changing the way we do business. It should be no surprise, then, that trucking is not immune.
Technology has slowly crept into the cab for years, from electronic logs to video-event recorders to collision warning systems. It seems there is an electronic control module or vehicle sensor for every system.
Modern trucks are now able to communicate with home networks and communications platforms in ways they never could before.
Modern carriers can access web platforms that provide real-time data tracking and analysis. Full-suite software systems allow fleet managers to seamlessly manage safety, compliance, recruiting and training.
The Internet of (Trucking) Things has evolved from the world of paper stuffed into filing cabinets to advanced connectivity and record-keeping solutions woven into the structure of vehicles and company networks.
As the future becomes now, how will the truck of tomorrow meet the needs of today? From autonomous rigs to advanced real-time trailer tracking systems, it appears the sky is the limit.
