The economy remains a top concern for the trucking industry, ranking as the number one issue in the American Transportation Research Institute’s annual report for the second year in a row. For fleets, cutting costs and improving efficiency is more critical than ever. As a core part of operations, trailers offer opportunities to reduce expenses, boost efficiency, and enhance safety and compliance.

Samsara now offers a range of Smart Trailer features designed to give insights into trailer data to improve the efficiency, compliance, and safety of trailer operations. New features that include enhanced tire and power monitoring as well as tractor-trailer mismatch alerts have been added to the company's existing trailer offering to create a comprehensive solution that allows organizations to improve trailer utilization and dispatch, driver productivity, revenue management, and more.

At the heart of the Smart Trailer solution is the Samsara Asset Gateway, a device that installs in under five minutes for rapid, scalable deployment. Its discreet design allows it to be mounted on trailer undercarriages, minimizing the risk of tampering or theft.
