Trucking
Transportation & Delivery
Long-haul trucking often forces drivers to take routes outside of cellular network range, leaving them unable to communicate and their vehicles unable to relay critical information. Regardless of route, Iridium enables drivers to connect and communicate from the start of their trip until they reach their end destination.
