Online technology allows truck companies to organize logistics affordably

Trucking companies, both big and small, are utilizing the newest technologies available to organize and handle fleet management responsibilities. Recently, Prophesy Transportation Solutions introduced a way for smaller businesses to save on logistics through an innovative "pay as you go" service offered online.

Fleet management owners may now handle their dispatch systems online and only purchase what services they need. Cutting back on unnecessary amenities could save small and medium-sized trucking companies money in the long run, while still be able to invest in useful technology.

All data inputted by trucker's' travel times, speeds and freight weight are still stored through this program and can be viewed by the master user at any time.

Bill Ashburn, vice president and general manager of Prophesy Transportation solutions, said he looks forward to the program being able to assist members of the company's business-to business (B2B) membership program.

"TruckersB2B has pioneered the ‘collective buying power’ movement for small to mid-sized fleet," Ashburn said.

Drivers and fleet owners may want to consider investing in logistics technology for their trucking business, which can be beneficial even for small companies when it comes to monitoring productivity and trucking safety.
