SkyBitz to be used on JB Hunt trailers

J.B. Hunt Transport Services will use SkyBitz’s Global Locating System (GLS) asset tracking technology for substantially all of their North American trailers.

J.B. Hunt expects to have mobile units installed on its fleet within the next 12 to 18 months, SkyBitz said.

“The satellite-based SkyBitz technology provides ubiquitous coverage that will give us real-time trailer information enabling us to enhance asset utilization and improve our tractor-to-trailer ratio, not to mention increased responsiveness to our customers,” said Craig Harper, executive vp operations & COO for J.B. Hunt.
