ASK AN EXPERT
GE industry experts answer your fleet management questions
Ask an Expert question: I think I want to add tracking to my trailer fleet but I maintain a mix of owned, leased and rental trailers... would it be difficult to add tracking?
John Hinmon, General Manager - VeriWiseTM Asset Intelligence, answers:
The good news is that you can now get tracking on owned, leased or rented trailers with GE. Realizing that most fleet managers do maintain a mix, we wanted to make it easy to add tracking to your trailer fleet & manage all your data activity in one place.
