ALK Technologies has introduced PC*Miler 23, which is the first routing and mileage system to include carbon emissions and intermodal analysis functionality, the company claims. It also includes critical map data updates such as truck restrictions and truck-specific toll costs. The Intermodal Analysis calculates alternative rail intermodal routes for truck shipments, so users can compare truck and intermodal mileage, fuel consumption and carbon emissions. For more info on its latest version of PC*Miler, visit www.alk.com.

Shaw Tracking has added several enhancements to its e-mail services: Driver E-mail; Driver SoS; and Driver ACE Alert. Driver E-mail is a two-way e-mail service allowing drivers to send and receive personal e-mail from the cab of the truck. Driver SoS provides drivers with the ability to send emergency message through macro alerts to as many as six recipients at one time, improving driver safety and security. Driver ACE Alert, meanwhile, provides e-mail alerts from an approved EDI or ACE solutions provider once a load has been cleared by Customs. It’s aimed at eliminating fines for showing up at the border without the necessary pre-clearance. For more info, visit www.shawtracking.ca.
