PHILADELPHIA — ALK Technologies has updated its CoPilot Truck in-cab navigation product to make it easier for fleets to create and follow routes optimized for vehicle size and load.

The update introduces a new set of vehicle profiles for light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks to better support fleets with operations that include multiple vehicle sizes.

The updated CoPilot product also enables fleet managers to remotely configure the routes their drivers follow, ALK announced here Oct. 19 at American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition.

“With CoPilot Truck’s Web-based back-office tool, CoPilot FleetPortal, we’re providing fleet managers with greater management of the routes executed in-cab so that drivers can stay focused on the road and avoid the risk of costly fines or collisions, which would otherwise negatively impact their CSA scores,” said Dan Titus, vice president of business development for enterprise solutions at ALK.
