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 β€” 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 πŸ‘‡

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 β€” 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 πŸ‘‡

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 β€” 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? πŸ‘‡

Commercial navigation just got a meaningful upgrade.

Trimble Inc. and Platform Science recently hosted a deep dive into CoPilot v11 β€” 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
πŸ…ΏοΈ Predictive parking that helps drivers plan ahead rather than scramble at the end of a run
πŸ—ΊοΈ 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.
