Highlights

The Only Capability of its Kind for the Transportation and Logistics Industry

ALK Technologies, Inc. has recently introduced its newest innovation, RouteSync. This new functionality enables users to synchronize PC*MILER routes planned in the back-office with CoPilot Truck, the leading truck-specific GPS navigation system.

ALK Technologies’ RouteSync is ideal for motor carriers, private fleets and owner operators that want in-vehicle consistency with industry-standard PC*MILER routing and mileage used for dispatch, billing, driver payroll, fuel tax reporting, rating, costing and other core management applications.

Through an easy-to-use feature called RouteSync, dispatchers can send PC*MILER-optimized routes directly to CoPilot Truck running on numerous mobile devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops and netbooks. RouteSync lets users define stop order, trip options (Practical, Hazmat, Toll Discouraged, etc.), custom routing preferences, and vehicle dimensions (Height, Weight, 53’ Trailer, etc.) in PC*MILER, to then send to CoPilot Truck.
