Case Study: Tutle & Tutle Trucking reduces trailer theft and improves fleet visibility with Spireon FleetLocate

Theft Thwarted with Trailer Intelligence Platform

Tutle & Tutle Trucking, a Texas-based bulk trailer fleet operator, was struggling with trailer theft and loss as its business grew in the fracking supply chain. Losing 2–3 trailers per year—each worth about $60,000 and often carrying up to $20,000 in sand—was hurting productivity and creating major recovery and administrative hassles. To address the problem, Tutle & Tutle turned to Spireon’s FleetLocate rich data trailer management platform.

Spireon implemented FleetLocate with GPS tracking, cellular data transmission, and real-time visibility through the NSpire Intelligence Platform, along with installation support to ensure the devices could withstand harsh hauling conditions. The results were strong: Tutle & Tutle reduced theft risk, recovered a missing trailer within 20 minutes, improved trailer utilization with maintenance alerts, and gained added insurer confidence. The company also reported no device malfunctions after nearly two years and planned to equip 50 to 100 more trailers with Spireon.
