Nussbaum recognized for using connected vehicle technology to drive successful outcomes.
February 21, 2025
HUDSON, IL—Nussbaum Transportation Services, Inc. has received a 2025 Geotab® Innovation Award for Productivity. The Geotab Innovation Awards honor outstanding fleets that lead the way in using connected vehicle technology and data insights to create better outcomes for business, people, and the planet. The Productivity category recognizes “best-in-class use of Geotab data insights to enhance vehicle uptime and streamline fleet operations.”
Nussbaum utilizes Geotab’s leading telematics solution to capture critical, rich, and high-quality data for near real-time and latent decision making, such as:
- Equipment health alerts (high RPMS, low tire pressure—notifies the shop team)
- Source/length of tractor idle time (identifies opportunity to reduce cost/emissions)
- Driver HOS information (used by load planners to optimize productivity)
- G-force events and throttle usage on tractors (feeds into our proprietary driver scorecard which coaches drivers on safe, efficient habits)
Using this stream of high-quality information, Nussbaum can maximize equipment uptime, monitor and reduce tractor idle, and ensure Hours-of-Service (HOS) compliance. Geotab’s open-source platform enables us to integrate their data with our custom software applications, increasing their effectiveness and value for the business.
About the Geotab Innovation Awards
The Geotab Innovation Awards, presented by Geotab Founder and CEO, Neil Cawse, showcase the power of data insights for driving performance, cost and efficiency, and highlight the critical role that fleet and transportation leaders play in addressing business challenges. Geotab Innovation Award recipients are selected based on a data-driven scoring methodology that compares the implementation, performance and impact compared to similar fleets. The Safety Champion and Maintenance Champion are based on nominations from Geotab partners, customers and industry peers.
The awards were presented at Geotab Connect 2025 in Orlando — a premier event for the fleet industry focused on connected vehicles, data intelligence, AI and sustainability.
