00:00 In this week’s CCJ Tech Shorts, we’ll take a look at a partnership that offers everyday trucking technology to CDL students, a fleet tech provider’s latest expansion and more.
00:22 Trucker Path, a mobile app for North American truckers, has partnered with the National Association of Publicly Funded Truck Driving Schools to connect Trucker Path’s driver technology platform with the organization’s nationwide network of publicly funded CDL training programs.
The organization’s member schools will be able to integrate Trucker Path’s trip planning, navigation and parking availability tools into their classroom and behind-the-wheel training. This initiative gives students first-hand experience with the same data-driven insights professional drivers use daily to plan routes, locate safe parking, and manage time more efficiently.
