Florilli Transportation LLC, based in West Liberty IA, has selected GeoLogic Solutions' MobileMax multi-mode system for its fleet.

This five-year agreement will add MobileMax technology to Florilli's entire fleet. The carrier has 225 tractors and 300 trailers providing refrigerated, truckload, and irregular route service in the contiguous 48 states.

Florilli intends to use MobileMax to enhance fuel efficiency by linking the communications system to electronic engine controls, so fuel economy and idling can be monitored in real time. The carrier has used multi-mode communications and tracking systems from GeoLogic for more than 10 years.
