Spatial North signs up Total Trucking Management Ltd.

Great news to report on the Spatial North business front: Spatial North has entered into an agreement with Total Trucking Management Ltd. (TTML) to provide the web-facing portion of TTML’s TripDAWG asset tracking and fuel tax calculation system. We’ll be building a custom product on top of TTML’s existing tracking, but not web-enabled, infrastructure.

According to TTML,

TripDAWG (D-A-W-G stands for Data Acquisition with GPS) uses a GPS receiver and a mini-computer to collect the distance for IRP, IFTA, mileage tax returns and off-road fuel rebate applications.

Its purpose is to save you time and money while improving the accuracy of your information.

Essentially, Total Trucking places custom GPS receivers on trucking fleets, which record timed position measurements, using cellular networks to transfer the data back to a centrally managed repository. These measurements are then used to calculate distance traveled in various juristictions, for managment and tax calculation purposes.
