Case Study: Frontier Distribution Services achieves increased uptime and cross-border ELD compliance with Zonar Systems

Frontier Distribution Services - Customer Case Study

Frontier Distribution Services, Inc., a Kitchener, Ontario–based truckload and LTL carrier operating 25 commercial trucks across U.S.–Canada routes, needed better fleet visibility, seamless compliance with both U.S. and Canadian ELD mandates, and faster remote diagnostics to minimize costly downtime and improve maintenance decisions.

Frontier deployed Zonar’s suite — Zonar Logs, FaultIQ (powered by Noregon), Zonar Coach, V4 hardware, driver tablets and Ground Traffic Control — giving mixed-fleet predictive diagnostics, real-time fault decoding, live vehicle views and precise hours-of-service reporting. The result: faster fault diagnosis and repairs, prevented roadside breakdowns (avoiding expensive tows), increased vehicle uptime, roughly 7–8 minutes saved per stop (about an extra hour of drive time per day), improved safety scores and easier driver exoneration.
