This technology enables our driving associates to communicate real-time with our Operations team. It gives shipment visibility from origin to destination while the trailer is attached to the tractor. Terion: The GPS-based trailer management system with load-sensor technology provides visibility even when the trailer is not attached to the tractor. This new technology provides real-time trailer location with loaded and empty status. The system enhances cargo security significantly and is capable of managing trailer pools for Knight and our Customer.
