MINNEAPOLIS - XATA Corporation announced that TransAm, one of the largest refrigerated fleet operators in the United States, has extended their contract with XATA for its MobileMax fleet management product.

The Olathe, Kan.-based company leverages MobileMax to help operate their refrigerated fleet. The fleet management solution is currently installed in more than 1,200 TransAm trucks.  The company uses MobileMax for two-way communications - leveraging XATA's cellular and satellite multi-modal communication network - to track their fleet assets and enhance delivery performance.

"We pride ourselves on providing the best service possible for our customers," said Russ McEllicott, president and COO, TransAm Trucking. "Having XATA's MobileMax fleet management solution deployed in our trucks helps us manage our business with the ability to track our trucks and get real-time access to fleet data." 

XATA's MobileMax integrates with TransAm's internal business operations software, which they leverage to run their day-to-day operations. MobileMax combines with their business-operations software to optimize their fleet operations, delivering the ability to automatically receive such fleet data as delivery time and truck whereabouts.

"TransAm is a smart company. They know one of the key elements to being a best-in-class fleet operation is to have technology in place to help drive business efficiencies," said David Gagne, executive vice president of field operations, XATA Corporation. "With our extended relationship, we are excited to introduce them to additional functionality that will help run their fleet business even better."

"With MobileMax, we have reaped tremendous savings in so many ways, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with XATA," added McEllicott.
