Orbcomm, a major provider of ELDs to the trucking sector, is dealing with a ransomware attack that has limited the ability of its customers to use its Fleet Manager offering, which includes its Blue Tree ELD systems, the company has confirmed.
Resolving the issue may take up to two weeks.
“On September 6, 2023, ORBCOMM experienced a ransomware attack that is temporarily impacting our FleetManager platform and BT product line, which is used by some of our customers to track and monitor their...
While digital highways are connecting more and more of the global supply chain — including linking every tractor-trailer in the U.S. to the internet — the founders of Axle said most trucking companies and logistics operators are still missing out on a wealth of data.

In the sweep of trucking-related trade groups, there is really nothing quite like The Trucking Alliance.
It started with nine members more than 10 years ago; it has the same nine members and isn’t taking applications for new ones. (However, it will be losing one, U.S. Xpress, when it is acquired by Knight-Swift. But Knight-Swift is a member too, so it could be argued the organization isn’t shrinking.)
Whereas most trade groups actively seek to bring in new members, the Alliance does no such...

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued an alert Friday informing the trucking industry that an electronic logging device is no longer approved for truck drivers and motor carriers to use.
The ArionT ELD was placed on the FMCSA’s revoked devices list for failure to meet minimum requirements pertaining to hours-of-service limits, according to a news release. It appears to be the first device the agency has invalidated, joining a list of about 50 ELDs that have been “self-revoked.”
