Since 1977 as co-owner of Stinson Motor Lines Mr.. Stinson had seen the need for more “real time” support for good drivers and truck lines. As the years have gone by that need has increased. To fill that need for better OTR location information for the trucking industry as well as real time temperature, fuel saving techniques and security alerts He and the technology team collaborated to launch National Fleet Tracking. The result was the development of best in the business tools for the trucking industry at NFT. In 2012 the business development team realized a new and unique opportunity for shippers to have more traceability, security and control of loads during transit. From years of experience in the logistics business combined with the modern platform of tracking developed by the National Fleet Tracking a new patent pending device was designed by NFT called GPS in a box (www.GPSInaBox.com). With GPS in a box full truck load shipping customers can now “own” their shipping information without needing to rely on drivers or truck lines to track their products location, security, humidity and temperature. GPS in a box is now available and helping great companies reduce supply chain loss, claims and customer complaints.
