Logistics IT Lives in Trucks, Yards, and Dispatch — Not Just Offices
ELD mandates, TMS dependency, EDI integrations, and mobile-first workforce realities make logistics IT its own discipline.
ELD compliance
FMCSA Electronic Logging Device mandate requires compliant ELDs across the fleet, with documented data retention and roadside-inspection readiness.
TMS integration
Transportation Management Systems (McLeod, TMW, MercuryGate) are the operational heart of trucking — integration, support, and uptime are critical.
Driver / dispatch coordination
Dispatch must reach drivers reliably; drivers must update status from the road. Communication and data flow have specific reliability requirements.
EDI integration
Customer EDI integrations (load tendering, status updates, invoicing) keep trucking businesses connected to shippers and brokers.
Mobile-first workforce
Drivers in trucks, dispatch in offices, dock workers in yards — most of the workforce isn’t at desks. IT must be designed for that.
Yard / warehouse IT
Cross-docks, yards, and warehouses need barcode scanning, WMS integration, and reliable Wi-Fi in industrial environments.

Hiring a single in-house IT person costs roughly the same as a full Datastrive managed support agreement — but a single person can’t cover 24/7, can’t be a senior network engineer and a cybersecurity specialist and a vCIO at the same time, and goes on vacation. Managed IT support gives you depth, redundancy, and predictable cost without the recruiting risk.
