FleetPulse Expansion Helps Canadian Fleets Address Unique Operational Challenges

Chicago (November 20, 2024) — FleetPulse, the leading innovator in trailer telematics, announced today its expansion into the Canadian market, providing fleets with advanced solutions to optimize operations and increase efficiency and safety across the country. This strategic move addresses the distinctive challenges of Canadian fleets, including extreme weather conditions, expansive geography, and the logistical complexities posed by increasing cargo traffic along the 5,500-mile U.S.-Canada border.

FleetPulse’s OEM-grade technology provides critical insights that transform trailers into digital, strategic business assets. Through its customer-inspired platform and open API, FleetPulse delivers actionable insights and data that help fleets reduce costs, improve performance, and ensure safer operations. In Canada, specifically, these features mitigate high-cost issues associated with intense wear on tires due to road conditions and extreme temperatures, limited visibility from snow, rain, or fog, and strict compliance requirements—offering important insights for fleet operators and maintenance teams.

“Canadian fleets have to navigate rising costs and the increasing complexities of operating their business,” said Carl-Christoph (CCR) Reckers, FleetPulse CEO. “Our technology now works seamlessly on both sides of the border. With our robust portfolio of solutions, dedicated Customer Success team, and tailored onboarding processes, FleetPulse is uniquely positioned to help Canadian fleets address their specific challenges while unlocking new efficiencies and growth opportunities. We are excited to support Canadian fleets in their smart trailer journey and, most importantly, get the highest possible return on their investments.”

In Mississauga, Ontario, Glasvan Great Dane is already realizing FleetPulse benefits. George Cobham Jr., their VP Sales and Marketing remarks, “Knowing exactly where your trailers and freight are located—and that critical items like tire pressures and lights are being monitored—all give dispatchers and fleet managers peace of mind. Asset utilization is a top priority for everyone these days, and FleetPulse provides the organized fleet data needed to make informed decisions.”
