Wabash announced Friday the acquisition of TrailerHawk.ai, a provider of advanced cargo security and smart access management technologies.
The company states this move strengthens Wabash’s Trailers as a Service (TaaS) offering, empowering logistics providers to achieve greater freight security, visibility and operational efficiency.
Wabash says TaaS enables logistics providers to grow revenue streams through a nationwide, flexible trailer subscription including on-demand trailer pools, national maintenance support and actionable data insights powered by the Wabash Marketplace platform.
“By integrating TrailerHawk.ai’s technology into our TaaS program, we’re offering logistics providers a unique advantage—superior cargo security, real-time visibility and data-driven insights that help protect assets and streamline operations,” says Mike Pettit, chief growth officer at Wabash. “This acquisition underscores our commitment to delivering customer-focused solutions that address today’s most pressing logistics challenges.”
