("DCLI"), the largest provider of container chassis to the U.S. intermodal industry, will deploy BlackBerry® Radar® across 100,000 of its DCL53 domestic 53-foot chassis. The rollout is part of a major initiative DCLI is undertaking to enhance the quality, reliability, visibility and operational efficiency of its fleet, with a view to setting a new freight industry standard for data driven decision-making.The deployment represents a deepening in the companies' technological collaboration. DCLI has utilized Radar devices on a subset of its fleet for over five years and after seeing the reliability and intelligence they provide, decided to exponentially increase the number of its chassis deployed with the solution while also recognizing Radar as a top tier supplier.With the BlackBerry Radar asset monitoring solution, DCLI will gain operational visibility, enabling its customers to optimize asset utilization and deliver more streamlined operations.

This includes preparedness for chassis requiring FMCSA inspections, optimized maintenance scheduling, and enhanced responsiveness for road service - all measures that help minimize downtime, assist with compliance, and help create a safer operating environment for all stakeholders."At a time where the freight industry continues to grapple with driver shortages, rising costs, and supply chain disruptions, the need for advanced asset visibility with enhanced fleet management solutions has never been more important," said Christopher Plaat, SVP and GM of BlackBerry Radar. "With the deployment of Radar, DCLI is taking a vital step in its digital transformation efforts. To that end, we're excited to demonstrate the countless data-driven insights that can be unlocked when you have improved visibility into the status of your chassis.
