Autosled, a leading digital transportation network, has announced the launch of its new turn-by-turn GPS navigation system, which will be integrated into its already existing mobile transporter application.
The updated version of the app will now offer truck drivers detailed route options, including alternate routes for each load as well as relevant details regarding their shipments. With the addition of the new navigation systems, truck drivers will no longer need to exit the app to use other third-party GPS apps.
"For carriers, efficiency directly translates to higher profits. Turn-by-turn navigation brings the entire platform together and is an important step towards building a transporter-friendly marketplace," said Autosled co-founder and chief financial officer Dan Sperau in a recent press release.
