Virginia-based freight-tracking firm Trucker Tools has launched cold-chain load tracking in addition to its existing load tracking service.

It provides its customers with monitoring for temperature-sensitive shipments, including perishables such as food and beverage, flowers, chemicals, and medical products.

Freight brokerages continue to face increased pressure to ensure the integrity of temperature-sensitive freight. Recognising the need for accurate, end-to-end, real-time visibility, Trucker Tools has developed a cold-chain tracking offering that exceeds requirements often found in shipper RFPs.

Features include:

• Real-time temperature tracking: Continuous temperature tracking from the moment a shipment is picked up until its delivery, ensuring that cold-chain loads are maintained within specified ranges throughout the journey.
• Customisable visibility and alerts: Customisable location and temperature alerts notify users instantly if a shipment’s temperature deviates from the expected range.
• Multi-zone trailer tracking: Comprehensive data logging with customisable temperature ranges for multi-zone trailers (zones one, two and three).
• Accessible tracking interfaces: Shippers and brokers can effortlessly monitor their shipments through an intuitive web portal or through a direct integration within their TMS.

“With our cold-chain tracking service, we aim to set a new standard in our industry,” said Kary Jablonski, CEO of Trucker Tools (www.truckertools.com). “We strive to equip brokers and carriers with the tools they need to improve their service, build trust and ensure the safe delivery of temperature-sensitive freight.”

The ability to monitor and manage temperature-sensitive shipments with precision is crucial for sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and high-value perishables. Trucker Tools’ cold-chain tracking (www.truckertools.com/cold-chain-tracking) is said not only to meet but exceed industry standards, providing a competitive edge for brokers and shippers in maintaining product quality and compliance.
