On October 14, 2025, C.H. Robinson announced the launch of the Drop Trailer Asset Management System (AMS) within its Drop Trailer Plus program. The AMS combines GPS tracking, telematics data, geofencing, and facility mapping into a single platform that turns the company’s thousands of trailers into intelligent assets.
The system is already active across C.H. Robinson’s own trailer pool and several contract carrier fleets, covering more than 10,000 trailers in circulation daily and supporting over 800,000 annual shipments. Integrated with the Navisphere platform, AMS delivers real‑time operational and inventory data, enabling shippers to monitor each trailer at rest or in motion and to right‑size trailer pools for maximum uptime.
By eliminating yard‑hunts and providing instant visibility of trailer status, the AMS reduces unplanned work and lowers operating costs. Shippers can streamline operations, minimize waste, and achieve better cost control, directly translating into higher service levels and potential revenue growth for C.H. Robinson.
The launch underscores C.H. Robinson’s commitment to AI‑driven supply chain solutions and strengthens its competitive position in the drop‑and‑hook market, which represents nearly 50% of the truckload industry. The enhanced visibility and efficiency are expected to improve margin performance and support the company’s broader strategy of leveraging technology to drive operational excellence.
