  1. How Is Technology Helping Reshape The Trucking Industry In Logistics? For years, the logistics industry has been a slacker in terms of contribution towards the economy, changing in market trends, and the adoption of technology. However, the latest invention of technologies like Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IOTs), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have directed this sector to a new growth path. According to experts, these technologies will provide a complete new type of paradigms, apart from transforming logistics industry. Challenges of trucking companies The trucking industry operates their business with agility and flexibility to make the same to more responsive in catering to their customers’ requirements. With flexible transportation, they offer efficient operation to their stakeholders. The rise in the demand of logistics companies has triggered driver’s safety, as truck drivers are the human backbone of this industry. The role of truck drivers is challenging due to long distances from family members, and long driving. Besides, the trucking industry needs to ensure the safe delivery of goods while reducing the costs involved in the distribution process. Poor road construction in remote areas increases the risk of accidents during goods transportation.

  2. How is technology facilitating the trucking and logistics industry? With the use of FMS (fleet management system), a trucking company in USA can easily have a close look at their drivers’ behaviours, plan a training session for drivers who stay away from their family members for a longer periods and provide shift change facility. Due to wireless technologies, like Bluetooth and sensors, adding trucks to the fleet, offering last-mile visibility and managing supply chain data have been more comfortable for a road transportation service provider of a logistics company. In today’s world, trucking companies of the logistics industry are using AI and GPS systems to track the exact location in real time and estimate the time for reaching destination.

  3. In addition, these technologies are helping to enable alerts on probable danger, proper vehicle utilization, and report on fuel tax information. With these technologies, the fleet or logistics company staffs can send user-generated inputs on drivers’ Smartphones to acknowledge them on congested areas or construction on the route. ML has enabled logistics companies to get each detail of trucks. By having prior knowledge on the functionality of truck engines, they can take immediate action to resolve the issues before loading goods and sending the truck on a route. Drivers can also easily track the time for reaching a destination or warehouse and changing the hub. Based on geospatial and status data, trucking companies are working on fuel optimization, route allocation, operational planning and control. AI is supporting them to predict traffic, probable accidents, and human errors to maintain safety during product transportation. Summary Technology has helped us a lot to make life easier and safer of people. Every industry is using the relevant technology to streamline their business operation. And the use of IOTs, MI, and AI has facilitated the trucking companies a lot to make goods transportation safe and time-bound.
