Case Study: Dutch Valley Foods achieves reliable cold-chain compliance and lower CSA scores with ORBCOMM

Dutch Valley Foods commends ORBCOMM’s all-in-one solution

Dutch Valley Foods, a Myerstown, Pennsylvania bulk distributor operating 74 tractors and 80 trailers, needed to ensure FSMA compliance and protect temperature‑sensitive loads (meat, dairy and other perishables) after its previous provider fell short. The carrier turned to ORBCOMM for reefer monitoring, trailer tracking and later ELD/telematics to gain unified visibility across trucks and trailers.

ORBCOMM delivered an all‑in‑one telematics solution—reefer monitoring, trailer tracking, ELDs, in‑cab TomTom DVIRs and driver analytics—providing live temperature monitoring with alerts, five‑minute position updates and consolidated driver scorecards. The result: fewer rejected deliveries, lower CSA scores, faster maintenance turnaround, recovered lost trailers, improved driver performance and fuel efficiency (drivers targeting ~0.1–0.2 mpg gains), and a smooth AOBRD-to-ELD transition.
