Transflo fully supports an eco-friendly industry on Earth Day AND every day of the year…
With our continued dedication to advancing technology, helping trucking professionals stay compliant, and keeping routes efficient, we hope to create a safer industry with a lighter carbon footprint.
We’ve taken strides to make transportation professional’s jobs more efficient with in-cab scanning PLUS truck-friendly shorter routes that get drivers to destinations quicker – while also lowering carbon emissions…
But these are just small strides compared to some major eco projects taking place by big names in the industry such as Tesla, Nikola, MIT and Volvo.
There has been buzz around the Tesla Semi ever since they announced they’d be manufacturing one back in 2016. And just in recent weeks it’s been spotted out delivering models of their cars to customers.

The Tesla Semi uses four electric motors (the same used in their Tesla model 3). CEO Elon Musk has made multiple claims about the electric truck including: fleets could save $.20 per mile, experience simplified maintenance versus diesel, and (of course) zero emissions…
It’s a bird… it’s a plane…no, it’s the killer spotted lantern fly!
There’s a new bug in town and it’s being labeled as a crop killing invader effecting truckers, farmers and the entire community. It’s called a spotted lantern fly (SLF) and the species could do up to $18 billion in economic harm in Pennsylvania alone.
It’s affecting various trees, grapevines and hops. Yes, this insect is attacking our BEER!

The year 2018 will likely always be remembered as the year that the ELD mandate sent everyone into a frenzy. And it looks like we’re in for a “round 2” in 2019. That’s because of the AOBRD phase-out. Automatic Onboard Recording Devices (AOBRD) are still being used by tens of thousands of professional drivers instead of ELDs…but not for long.
AOBRDs are like ELDs in that they record information about the vehicle they’re installed in, but the AOBRD devices are now considered outdated technology because…
The Future is Now…
There was a time when headlines about heavy-duty diesel engines revolved around horsepower and torque curves.
But today engines deliver much more than power. Electronic controls and telematics can tell truck drivers, maintenance managers, and fleet owners about the performance of their equipment in real time – anywhere there’s a network connection.
Nearly every major Original Equipment (OE) engine has introduced new or updated connected services recently, and providers of aftermarket telematics devices offer features that streamline the collection and communication of engine data.
As you evaluate telematics devices for diagnostics and predictive maintenance, here are a few things to consider…
