PRINCETON, N.J. – DriverTech LLC has integrated ALK’s CoPilot Truck navigation into its tri-mode mobile communications and onboard computing system. CoPilot Truck provides drivers with spoken and displayed, turn-by-turn, truck-specific directions. The DriverTech TruckPC onboard computer offers full-color, PC-quality display and functionality in the truck cab, and lowest-cost mobile communications versatility. This CoPilot Truck integration is entirely onboard and requires no costly mobile messaging fees.

With CoPilot Truck onboard, fleets see a significant reduction in out-of-route, empty, and deadhead mileage according to ALK. CoPilot Truck is a comprehensive solution that gets drivers where they need to go while avoiding restricted roads, tunnels, and bridges. CoPilot Truck automatically recalculates routes based on dynamic factors such as traffic, construction, or accidents.

CoPilot Truck provides truck-specific, spoken, dock-to-dock directions throughout the United States and Canada. With the DriverTech integration, the CoPilot Truck software and database resides completely on the DriverTech device. While other systems transmit locations and driving directions over communications channels, there is no data transmission cost associated with a driver’s use of CoPilot Truck with DriverTech. Unlike other systems, wireless connectivity is not required, improving reliability and performance.

CoPilot Truck and DriverTech have closely worked together for more than two years. CoPilot Truck is deployed on more than 5,000 vehicles’ DriverTech Truck PC units, operating throughout North America.
