LTI Trucking Services, a truckload carrier and full-service logistics company based in St. Louis, Missouri, has selected Orbcomm to provide its cold chain telematics solution to track, monitor and control its fleet of refrigerated trailers. Orbcomm will provide cellular connectivity, hardware, wireless fuel and door sensors, along with a web-based reporting platform for optimal fleet management.

LTI will use Orbcomm’s cold chain telematics solution to provide temperature, fuel management and maintenance data for its refrigerated trailer fleet transporting perishable food, beverage and confectionary products. LTI will fully integrate the data with its proprietary back-office platform to optimize asset utilization and compliance with the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Orbcomm’s solution also integrates closely with McLeod LoadMaster transportation management platform. The Loadmaster two-way interface enables LTI to capture near real-time trailer data, including operational condition and GPS position, through one comprehensive system.

LTI Trucking Services is currently installing the Orbcomm solution and expects to complete full fleet deployment in the first quarter of 2018.
