Heading into the 2026 National Private Truck Council (NPTC) conference, three topics kept coming up: AI, driver development, and the driver shortage.

On AI, fleets weren't looking for hype — they wanted to know where it actually helps with safety, compliance, and routing right now.

Driver development came up just as often. Fleets are investing in real training and clearer career paths to hold onto good drivers.

And that ties straight into the driver shortage. Keeping drivers starts with making their day in the cab easier.

We broke it all down here 👇

We spent one day at the 2026 International Fuel Tax Association (IFTA), Inc. Educational Forum in San Diego, and in that single day, more than 300 people stepped aboard our Connected Vehicle Lab.

Each tour was a firsthand look at how our connected vehicle platform supports fleets — improving visibility and accuracy across fuel tax reporting, mileage collection, and compliance.

Showing up in our hometown made it better, and getting the technology in front of so many people in one day made it worth every hour.

Thanks to everyone who climbed aboard and asked the hard questions 👇

Cross-border compliance is one of the more complicated problems in fleet operations. It shouldn't require two separate systems.

CCJ - Commercial Carrier Journal highlights Platform Science's expanded Canadian ELD certification in their latest fleet tech round-up — alongside AI damage detection and cargo security advancements. The common thread: fleets are done managing complexity for its own sake.

What's the compliance headache your fleet is still waiting on technology to solve? 👇

Commercial navigation just got a meaningful upgrade.

Trimble Inc. and Platform Science recently hosted a deep dive into CoPilot v11 — and the updates are worth knowing about if you're running fleets that depend on routing accuracy and driver efficiency.

The three changes that matter most:
⚡ Faster map downloads that reduce time spent waiting at the start of a shift
🅿️ Predictive parking that helps drivers plan ahead rather than scramble at the end of a run
🗺️ Enhanced trip planning tools that give dispatchers and drivers a clearer picture before wheels start turning.

Matt Santorsiero from Trimble walked through each change in detail. The full recording is worth a watch if your fleet relies on CoPilot for in-cab navigation.

🚨 2026 DOT Blitz Week starts TOMORROW — May 12–14.

Inspectors across North America will be zeroing in on ELD tampering & HOS accuracy and cargo securement this year.

One violation can put your driver or vehicle out of service on the spot.

Make sure your fleet is ready:

✅ Review Logs, ELD Manual, Cab Card & Transfer Logs in PS HOS

✅ Certify logs daily and clear any Unassigned Drive Time (UDT)

✅ Run pre-trip checks on brakes, cargo, tires & lighting in PS DVIR

Platform Science keeps your fleet inspection-ready — not just during Blitz Week, but every day on the road. 🚛✅
