Case Study: Pan American Express achieves over $1 million in annual savings with FleetLocate Asset & Trailer Intelligence

Pan American Express Saves Over One Million Dollars in One Year with FleetLocate Asset & Trailer Intelligence

Pan American Express, a Laredo, TX–based carrier operating more than 600 dry‑van trailers on Mexico‑to‑Canada routes for just‑in‑time automotive suppliers, struggled to provide accurate, timely freight visibility. The company relied on manual, third‑party status reports and yard checks, which produced stale or inconsistent location data, costly detention disputes, and inefficient trailer utilization.

Pan American implemented Spireon’s FleetLocate Asset & Trailer Intelligence to gain real‑time trailer tracking, mobile alerts and customer access, and automated yard checks. The system improved detention billing accuracy, increased trailer turns and utilization (avoiding a planned 10% fleet expansion), reduced customer complaints, supported C‑TPAT compliance, and delivered more than $1 million in annual savings.
