How the TGI Trailer Tracking App Helped One Fleet Reduce Yard Time and Boost Driver Productivity
Every wasted minute adds up when drivers spend time searching for the right trailer—or calling dispatch to figure out where it might be—you’re losing valuable time, burning fuel, and frustrating your team.
That’s why more fleets are turning to trailer tracking apps to improve visibility, cut down on confusion, and keep freight moving.
At TGI Connect, we help transportation companies reduce yard check time and empower their teams with accurate trailer visibility—right from their phones.
How a Top Canadian Transportation Company Streamlined Their Operations with The TGI Mobile App
When Ritchie Perry helped one of Canada’s leading transportation companies implement the TGI Connect Mobile App alongside our satellite trailer tracking system, his team didn’t just get location data—they got clarity, control, and confidence.
“Drivers could type in a unit number and walk right up to the trailer. You can’t put a dollar value on that—but it’s huge.”
— Ritchie Perry, Process and Tech Strategist, TransStrat Solutions
Their team rolled out the app to 900 drivers, helping them find trailers faster and eliminate guesswork across 70+ yards. With satellite connectivity, even remote yards were no longer “blackout zones.”
On-The-Go Trailer Visibility That Works on the Ground
The TGI Connect Mobile App was designed with both fleet managers and drivers in mind. It’s a simple, powerful tool that:
- Shows trailer locations with satellite precision
- Cuts back-and-forth calls between drivers and dispatch
- Ideal for maintaining accuracy of data when many terminals are involved
- Syncs with your transportation management system (TMS) like Truckmate
- Supports your operation whether you’re managing 100 or 3,000 trailers
“TGI’s app gave our drivers independence. They stopped calling dispatch and just found the trailers themselves.”
For dispatchers, this meant fewer interruptions. For managers, it meant higher driver productivity and less time wasted on yard checks.
Seamless Integration with Your TMS and Workflow
Ritchie’s operations team integrated TGI’s trailer tracking data directly into their TMS, streamlining processes and improving accuracy.
“At times, our dispatch would show a different location than our TMS. However, we have always been able to rely on TGI to provide us the most accurate location.”
With trailer location software built to sync with existing systems, your data stays accurate—and your team stays aligned.
Why Satellite Trailer Tracking Makes the Difference
Unlike traditional GPS-only systems, TGI Connect offers satellite connectivity that ensures trailers are trackable even in tough coverage zones. That reliability is what sets TGI apart—and what keeps operations flowing, even in high-demand or high-security scenarios.
Smarter Tools. Less Wasted Time. More Deliveries.
Whether you’re running a large national fleet or a regional operation, TGI Connect gives your team a mobile-ready, driver-friendly solution to streamline yard operations and increase throughput.
