AT&T Keeps United Road Services Trucking with Mobile Resource Management Solution
Custom Solution Helps Fleet of Nearly 1,100 Trucks Efficiently Deliver More Than 2 Million Vehicles Throughout U.S.
AT&T* announced a five-year, $2.6 million contract for wireless services and applications to United Road Services, Inc., a leading U.S. provider of vehicle logistics. With nearly 1,100 tractor-trailer trucks, United Road was looking to achieve greater efficiencies in its deliveries of more than 2 million vehicles across the country annually.
Under the agreement, AT&T will provide wireless data service to support United Road Services’ proprietary OVISS truck-based hand-held solution that will track the resources and performance of United Road’s operations.
