Survey: How does your fleet use telematics?

April 21, 2025

We want to better understand how fleets are really using telematics today and what they need for the future, so please take a moment to fill out our survey.

John Hitch

Telematics can completely transform how fleets monitor their drivers, assets, and overall maintenance program. The data streaming off trucks has the capabilities to assist fleet managers in something as simple as GPS tracking, or as complex as the proactive scheduling of maintenance and repairs to prevent failures on the road.

But there's a big difference between expectations and reality. To better serve our readers, we want to know how you are using telematics, so we can offer content that helps guide you through the present, while providing advice on where you can go in the future. We will also share the results with telematics providers so they can develop new products that better suit your needs.

So please take a few minutes to take our brief survey. Your time and persepctive are greatly appreciated!
