What technology do trucking companies use?

Trucking carriers use a range of technology platforms including telematics/ELD systems for fleet tracking and compliance, transportation management systems (TMS) for dispatch and operations, and fuel card programs for fleet fueling. AlphaLoops tracks adoption across all three categories for 35,000+ carriers.

What is the most popular telematics platform for trucking?

Samsara is the most widely adopted telematics platform, used by 3,795 carriers tracked by AlphaLoops (21.9% market share). Motive and Omnitracs are the second and third most popular.

What is the most popular TMS for trucking companies?

TMW Systems (Trimble) is the most widely adopted TMS platform, used by 3,521 carriers tracked by AlphaLoops (21.7% market share). See the full TMS breakdown for more details.

What fuel cards do trucking companies use?

EFS Fuel Card is the most widely used fuel card, adopted by 306 carriers (23.2% market share). See the full fuel card breakdown for more details.

How does fleet size affect technology adoption?

Carriers with technology data tracked by AlphaLoops are significantly larger than the industry average. For example, carriers with telematics data average 253.8 power units compared to an industry average of 40.1. Larger fleets are more likely to adopt formal technology platforms across all categories.

Where does AlphaLoops get its technology adoption data?

AlphaLoops conducts proprietary surveys of active FMCSA-registered carriers. Unlike standard FMCSA databases, which only contain safety and authority information, AlphaLoops collects data on telematics platforms, TMS systems, and fuel card providers. This data is not available from any public source.

Can I see which carriers use a specific platform?

Yes. AlphaLoops provides full carrier profiles including technology stack, contact information, and fleet details for each platform. Browse our technology directory or start a free trial to access the complete dataset.

Why This Data Matters

Most public carrier databases only include FMCSA safety and authority data. AlphaLoops goes further by tracking which telematics, TMS, and fuel card platforms each carrier actually uses. This data helps technology vendors, brokers, and investors understand the competitive landscape and target the right carriers.
