Fleet Telematics & Safety Compliance

Samsara TMS Integration

Connect Samsara ELD hardware directly into your dispatch workflow. Stream real-time Hours of Service (HOS) duty clocks onto the load board, validate driver available drive hours before dispatching freight, and automate jurisdictional IFTA state mileage calculation.

Eliminate Dispatch Blind Spots with Live Telematics

For modern asset-based motor carriers, assigning a load to a driver who runs out of hours 30 miles down the road causes missed delivery appointments, detention penalties, and severe FMCSA compliance violations. Yet in many trucking offices, dispatchers still manually cross-reference a separate Samsara browser tab with a legacy dispatch screen.

EXSPEEDITE TMS natively connects to the Samsara REST & Webhook API, streaming live telematics data directly into your dispatch cockpit without third-party middleware.

Core Operational Capabilities of the Samsara Integration

1. Pre-Dispatch HOS Validation

View driver remaining drive time, shift time, cycle hours, and time until 30-minute break directly beside the tractor on the dispatch board. When a dispatcher attempts to assign a 400-mile load to a driver with only 3 hours of available drive time, EXSPEEDITE triggers an immediate visual warning to prevent HOS violations.

2. Real-Time GPS Tracking & Geofencing

Continuous vehicle coordinates stream from Samsara telematics into EXSPEEDITE's live map. Automatic geofences detect when a tractor arrives at a shipper, begins loading, departs, or reaches the delivery dock—updating shipment milestone events automatically.

3. Automated IFTA Breadcrumb Mileage

Samsara GPS breadcrumb trails are automatically ingested into EXSPEEDITE's spatial geometry engine. The system calculates exact state-by-state mileage splits across state boundary intersections, reconciling directly with fuel card purchases for audit-proof quarterly IFTA filings.

4. Trailer Tracking & Temp Monitoring

For refrigerated fleets, Samsara smart trailer sensors continuously pass reefer temperature readings and door sensor statuses into the EXSPEEDITE load record, protecting perishable freight and creating an incontrovertible temperature log for shippers.

How EXSPEEDITE Telematics Unifies Mixed Fleets

Many motor carriers operate a mixed fleet—combining company power units on Samsara, dedicated lease operators on Motive or Geotab, and outside broker carriers tracked via mobile phones. EXSPEEDITE provides a single, unified operational layer:

  • Company Fleet: Live telematics and HOS duty clocks powered by Samsara.
  • Owner-Operators & Other ELDs: Direct integration with Motive, Geotab, and PeopleNet.
  • Outside Brokered Trucks: App-less mobile GPS tracking powered by built-in CheckPoint.
  • Shipper Visibility: Automated live map and status feeds published to Pipeline portals.
