“Consistent with our corporate mission, at Schugel we want our drivers and managers to have the tools they need to keep drivers safe by keeping them on truck approved roads.

“Technology has become increasingly accepted by carriers of all sizes, and it helps trucking companies and drivers become more efficient, ensuring operators get to their final destination faster, safer and with greater detail than ever before” stated Jeff Papows, CEO of Maptuit. “Our customers benefit from a bi-directional, real-time service and connected community of this scale; that is why it is important to us and to our customers to be able to work together as we’ve been doing with America’s premier fleets, who we consider to be our partners. By continuing to grow our community of drivers, Maptuit can increase our ability to improve on unknown truck restrictions as drivers are continually providing them directly to Maptuit as they encounter them.
