Leading Edge

TransAm is continually researching, developing, and implementing innovative technology to support its operation. Whether the technology can be used in-cab or by support staff, TransAm is focused on finding better ways to serve their customers and meet the needs of their drivers. TransAm recently deployed a new mobile communications system that is easy for the driver to use, easy for the company to maintain and has excellent features and coverage. This state-of-the-art technology also benefits internal personnel because it is customized to fit TransAm's unique business needs.

Real-Time Temperature Monitoring

TransAm was the first truckload carrier in the United States to implement a system to provide real-time equipment monitoring and live temperature readings every five minutes. A lot can happen in 24 hours over the road. TransAm's system updates temperature readings every five minutes and can provide customized report to its customers. Temperature-related issues are reported to TransAm as they occur via customized alerts that are monitored by a well-trained staff equipped to correct the issues immediately instead of critical hours later.

Load Optimization

TransAm people and technology team up to get loads to their destinations on time, without fail. In fact, TransAm offers unequaled on-time pickup and delivery service. This is made possible by load optimization technology that instantly matches the optimum load to the best truck. The load optimization software analyzes data including load origin and destination, transit time, empty miles, the driver's driving hours available and home time needs and determines the best truck for each load to ensure on-time pickup and delivery.
