Platform Science to Equip TLD Logistics’ 330-Truck Fleet with Virtual Vehicle™ Platform
TLD Logistics, a leading transportation company known for its commitment to safety, operational excellence, and driver satisfaction, has announced a strategic partnership with Platform Science, a leading provider of connected vehicle technology. Through this collaboration, Platform Science will deploy its innovative Virtual Vehicle™ platform and a comprehensive suite of fleet applications across TLD’s fleet of 330 trucks.
This transformative initiative signals a significant leap forward in TLD’s digital strategy, aiming to streamline operations, enhance driver experiences, and deliver more robust data-driven insights across its transportation network.
Enabling Next-Generation Fleet Intelligence
Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle™ platform is designed to centralize, customize, and simplify the digital experience inside the truck. Through an open architecture and an ecosystem of applications, the platform enables carriers like TLD to integrate, deploy, and manage a wide array of fleet software tools in real-time—all from a single interface. At its core, Virtual Vehicle™ helps bridge the gap between hardware and software in fleet operations, turning trucks into smart, connected assets.
As part of this rollout, TLD will integrate a suite of applications focused on real-time data access, compliance, safety, communication, routing, and driver performance. One of the cornerstone tools in this suite is PS Workflow, a highly configurable solution that empowers drivers to manage tasks efficiently while maintaining full visibility into key operational metrics. With PS Workflow, drivers can access critical trip and vehicle information through a single, intuitive interface, reducing the need to toggle between disparate systems.
By unifying operational data across multiple apps, the platform ensures that TLD’s back office teams and drivers are always aligned. This not only simplifies decision-making but also supports faster responses to changing conditions, such as route disruptions, customer requests, or compliance updates.
Driving Operational Efficiency and Growth
For TLD Logistics, which has long prided itself on prioritizing both customer satisfaction and driver experience, the decision to partner with Platform Science represents a calculated investment in long-term growth and sustainability.
“Platform Science is the industry leader in connected vehicle technology, and their platform gives us the tools we need to simplify fleet management, reduce complexity, and ensure our teams have the tools they need to perform at the highest level,” said John Hutton, General Manager of TLD Logistics. “We are committed to investing in technologies that enhance operational efficiency, support our drivers, and position us for sustainable growth.”
The Virtual Vehicle™ platform offers a powerful backend that enables TLD’s leadership to adapt to operational challenges and regulatory changes with unprecedented agility. Features like remote app deployment, centralized compliance tracking, and advanced analytics help reduce downtime, optimize route planning, and improve customer service outcomes.
One of the key benefits of the Platform Science ecosystem is its scalability. As TLD grows its fleet and expands into new markets or service areas, the platform’s modular architecture allows it to seamlessly onboard new tools and functionalities without disrupting existing operations. This future-ready approach ensures that TLD’s digital infrastructure can evolve alongside its business needs.
A Shared Vision for a Digitally-Driven Future
The collaboration between Platform Science and TLD Logistics is founded on a shared belief that technology should empower—not replace—the people who keep freight moving. At a time when the transportation industry is grappling with increasing regulatory complexity, driver shortages, and rising customer expectations, having a digital infrastructure that supports people at every level of the organization is critical.
“TLD Logistics is known for its operational excellence and driver-first culture, and we’re proud to support their continued innovation,” said Anton Albrand, Vice President of Sales at Platform Science. “By deploying Platform Science Enterprise fleet applications across its operations, TLD is gaining a flexible, scalable platform that enables real-time back office insight, streamlines software management, and supports long-term business expansion. Our relationship reflects a shared commitment to leveraging leading-edge technology to drive efficiency and performance across the transportation industry.”
For Platform Science, the TLD partnership represents an ideal use case for its technology—one that blends innovation with real-world execution in a high-demand logistics environment. Through close collaboration, both companies aim to refine and optimize how digital tools can empower drivers and operations teams alike.
Supporting Drivers with Better Tools and Real-Time Insights
At the center of this technology-driven transformation is the driver. In many fleet digitization initiatives, drivers often struggle to adapt to new systems or face the burden of juggling multiple disconnected tools. Platform Science has designed its solutions with driver experience as a top priority, ensuring that applications like PS Workflow are not only powerful but also intuitive and easy to use.
With customizable screens, real-time notifications, and integrated safety alerts, the Virtual Vehicle™ interface empowers drivers to manage their tasks with confidence and clarity. It also allows dispatch and back-office personnel to communicate more efficiently with drivers, reducing friction and delays.
From electronic logs and vehicle inspection reports to route navigation and delivery confirmations, the suite of Platform Science applications provides end-to-end visibility and control, reducing administrative overhead and freeing drivers to focus on what matters most—delivering goods safely and on time.
Seamless Integration and Enhanced Compliance
Compliance remains a critical concern for all motor carriers, and Platform Science’s solutions are designed to help fleets stay ahead of evolving regulations. The platform provides robust electronic logging device (ELD) support, automated hours-of-service tracking, and integrated vehicle inspection reporting, ensuring that all compliance-related activities are streamlined and auditable.
By eliminating manual processes and reducing the risk of human error, TLD can improve its safety profile, reduce potential violations, and enhance its reputation with regulators and clients. Additionally, with built-in reporting capabilities, managers can generate insights on fuel consumption, idle time, maintenance needs, and other KPIs to guide continuous improvement initiatives.
A New Standard for Fleet Digitization
The collaboration between Platform Science and TLD Logistics sets a new benchmark for how trucking companies can leverage connected vehicle technology to thrive in an increasingly digital economy. By investing in an open, flexible, and driver-centric platform, TLD is laying the groundwork for long-term competitiveness, agility, and operational excellence.
The Virtual Vehicle™ ecosystem is more than just a suite of applications—it’s a reimagining of how transportation companies can operate, manage, and grow in a data-driven world. Through strategic partnerships like this, Platform Science continues to demonstrate its commitment to transforming the logistics landscape, one fleet at a time.
As TLD begins rolling out Platform Science across its fleet, both companies will continue to collaborate on future enhancements, fine-tune application integrations, and explore new ways to use real-time data to improve fleet performance. This dynamic partnership reinforces the idea that the future of logistics is not just connected—it’s intelligent, scalable, and built around people.
