Case Study: TransAm Trucking achieves safer, more fuel-efficient hauling with Eaton UltraShift PLUS automation

Protein hauler is pro Eaton automation

TransAm Trucking, a heavy-haul trucking company, faced the challenge of attracting new drivers and accelerating their efficiency. Many new drivers were not well-prepared to operate manual transmissions, creating a significant training barrier. To address this, the company turned to Eaton and implemented Eaton automated transmissions in their fleet.

Eaton provided its UltraShift PLUS LAS automated transmissions, which make intelligent shift decisions for efficient and safe vehicle operation. The solution resulted in increased driver safety, reduced driver fatigue, and better fuel consumption. The drivers were very happy with the product, and the company experienced fewer accidents while consistently getting fuel economy increases.
