ORBCOMM, a supplier of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions worldwide, announced today that John Christner Trucking, LLC selected ORBCOMM’s StarTrak division to provide an industry-leading two-way tracking and monitoring solution for its national fleet of refrigerated rail and over-the-road trailers.
John Christner, based out of Sapulpa, OK, will utilize ORBCOMM’s RT6000+, a potent two-way reefer telematics device, throughout its fleet. The RT6000+ was developed by StarTrak to deliver comprehensive temperature, fuel management, maintenance, and logistical applications services for its temperature-controlled cargo. ORBCOMM will couple this powerful hardware with a robust web application featuring advanced data reporting and analytics capabilities to increase in-transit visibility and efficiency of John Christner’s refrigerated transport operations.
John Christner will completely integrate the data transmitted from ORBCOMM’s innovative solution with their back-office platform to achieve substantial fuel savings, optimize temperature compliance, and increase responsiveness and customer satisfaction. All of these improvements will make a direct contribution to John Christner’s bottom line.
“ORBCOMM’s telematics system will enable John Christner to take their refrigerated trailer operations to a whole new level of efficiency and see an immediate return on investment (ROI),” said David Gsell, General Manager of StarTrak. “As we continue to see more broad adoption of telematics in the transportation and distribution industry, we are excited about the impact ORBCOMM’s powerful solutions are having on trucking companies in a diversity of market segments.”
“We evaluated several solution providers and selected ORBCOMM’s telematics system for its dynamic data reporting capabilities and proven industry success,” said John Christner, Chief Executive Officer of John Christner Trucking, LLC. “With fuel savings as our primary ROI driver, ORBCOMM’s tracking and monitoring solution will provide the critical insight we need to better manage our trailer fleet operations and increase performance.”
ORBCOMM has begun initial deployment of its telematics system on John Christner’s rail trailer fleet and expects to continue deployment on their extensive OTR fleet in 2014.
