DriverTech has announced that Watsontown Trucking Company has adopted the DriverTech DT4000 TruckPC for fleet-wide rollout. Steve Patton, president, stated, "We saw immediate improvements in our ability to provide customer service." The DriverTech DT4000 TruckPC, running WindowsXP, is designed specifically for in-cab use in the transportation industry.

"The DriverTech system is delivering real-time engine data and driver performance information at a fraction of the cost of other mobile communications vendors," added Patton.

The DT4000 TruckPC provides a long-awaited innovation in on-board communications for trucks. Leveraging true Tri-Mode communications system (Satellite, Cellular, and Wi-Fi) to deliver intelligent least-cost communications between the driver and dispatch, the DT4000 provides data communications at a fraction of the traditional fees associated with over-the-road communications.

Because the DT4000 runs WindowsXP Embedded, a broad spectrum of applications, from GPS navigation and automated hours of service, to real-time fuel tax reporting, can now run simultaneously in the cab.

"We're excited about expanding services to our customers and continuing to grow the fleet," said Chad Mensch, regional operations director, Watsontown. "The more connected we are in the cab, the better our fleet performs."

"We're very pleased that Watsontown chose DriverTech as its first ever mobile communications solution," said Mark Haslam, DriverTech's president and CEO. "In effect, Watsontown has 'leap frogged' their competition by moving well beyond traditional in-cab communications equipment. We're excited to be a partner in their continued growth."
