FleetPulse, a trailer telematics provider, recently expanded into the Canadian market, offering fleets solutions to optimize operations and increase efficiency and safety. This move addresses the challenges of Canadian fleets, including extreme weather conditions, expansive geography, and the logistical challenges posed by increasing cargo traffic along the 5,500-mile U.S.-Canada border.
FleetPulse’s technology provides insights that transform trailers into digital, strategic business assets. Through its customer-inspired platform and open API, FleetPulse delivers actionable insights and data that the company says help fleets reduce costs, improve performance, and ensure safer operations. In Canada, specifically, these features could mitigate high-cost issues associated with excessive tire wear due to road conditions and extreme temperatures; limited visibility from snow, rain, or fog; and strict compliance requirements—providing important insights for fleet operators and maintenance teams.

“Canadian fleets have to navigate rising costs and the increasing complexities of operating their business,” FleetPulse CEO Carl-Christoph Reckers said. “Our technology now works seamlessly on both sides of the border. With our robust portfolio of solutions, dedicated customer success team, and tailored onboarding processes, FleetPulse is uniquely positioned to help Canadian fleets address their specific challenges while unlocking new efficiencies and growth opportunities. We are excited to support Canadian fleets in their smart trailer journey and, most importantly, get the highest possible return on their investments.”
In Mississauga, Ontario, Glasvan Great Dane is already realizing FleetPulse benefits. George Cobham Jr., VP of sales and marketing, remarked, "Knowing exactly where your trailers and freight are located—and that critical items like tire pressures and lights are being monitored—all give dispatchers and fleet managers peace of mind. Asset utilization is a top priority for everyone these days, and FleetPulse provides the organized fleet data needed to make informed decisions."
