In addition, Asset Intelligence has proven to be an invaluable partner to Knight, working closely with us over many years to optimize our fleet performance.  

"Asset Intelligence was also the only provider able to deliver information seamlessly across every type of trailer in our fleet and, at the same time, integrate a user-friendly web portal with both our core dispatch application and our employees' peripheral devices, like smart phones and tablet PCs. These unique capabilities provide enhanced fleet visibility, which can improve equipment utilization."
