Case Study: Blue Lightning Logistics achieves reliable temperature-controlled deliveries and asset recovery with Samsara

National over-the-road truckload carrier uses Samsara to safely and reliably transport freight and maintain precision for temperature-controlled loads

Blue Lightning Logistics is a San Diego–based over‑the‑road carrier that grew from a three‑truck dry‑van operation into a 55‑truck fleet serving 48 states, specializing in temperature‑sensitive loads like produce, frozen goods, and pharmaceuticals. The company had limited visibility into trailer locations and temperatures, which led to rejected loads costing $30–50K per year and periodic trailer thefts that increased insurance costs.

To solve this, Blue Lightning deployed Samsara AG15/AG24 asset gateways and environmental monitors, using GPS tracking, temperature alerts, two‑way reefer control, and geofencing in daily dispatch workflows. The result: faster issue resolution and pre‑cooling control, recovery of roughly $200K in stolen assets, a 300% ROI with payback in six months, reduced rejected loads and insurance premiums, and much greater operational visibility and confidence.
