The biggest U.S. intermodal chassis fleet is getting a technology upgrade.
Direct ChassisLink will deploy BlackBerry’s Radar GPS tracking solution across 100,000 of its DCL53 domestic 53-foot chassis.
DCLI has utilized Radar devices on a portion of its fleet for over five years, and the rollout is part of a major initiative to enhance the visibility and operational efficiency of its fleet.
In a release, BlackBerry (NYSE: BB) said Radar’s near-real-time information offers precise asset tracking, advanced inventory insights, location-based alerts, and optimized driver and terminal efficiency.
Integrated sensors will streamline billing processes and enhance fleet optimization, enabling real-time monitoring of chassis to reduce delays and improve logistics planning.
The upgrade will enable DCLI to improve maintenance visibility, response times and safety, including preparedness for chassis requiring Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration inspections, optimized maintenance scheduling and enhanced responsiveness for road service.
“At DCLI, quality is a top priority, and this initiative reflects our dedication to delivering exceptional value to our customers,” said Lee Newitt, chief executive at DCLI, in the release. “Equipping our entire DCL53 chassis fleet with GPS technology is a testament to our ongoing mission to lead the intermodal industry with innovative solutions and unparalleled fleet quality.”
