This telematics data gives us information on: • Where trucks are • Where trucks are headed • What routes trucks typically use • When they’re handling a back-haul (return journey) • When trucks are idle, etc. • Driver behaviour • Available driving hours We run AI/ML algorithms against this and computationally determine which loads are most-appropriate for which drivers.
