A BlackBerry Case Study
XTL, an Ontario–based full‑truckload carrier operating roughly 400 tractors and 1,200 trailers across Canada for major retailers, faced persistent trailer thefts—especially in the Montreal area—despite CCTV, locks and other precautions. Repeated losses and near‑misses made fast recovery and better asset visibility a priority.
XTL deployed 260 BlackBerry Radar‑L devices, set up geofences and automated checks tied to their TMS (with speed‑matching to reduce false alarms) so operations and security teams receive immediate alerts when trailers move unexpectedly. Within three months they tracked and recovered a stolen trailer and cargo, avoided a six‑figure loss, and gained ongoing benefits including improved yard utilization, real‑time fleet visibility, and new use cases for detention billing, maintenance and trailer location.
