EpicVue has introduced a Starlink satellite connectivity program designed specifically for trucking fleets operating across North America.

The program combines high-speed satellite connectivity, rugged in-motion hardware engineered for demanding trucking environments, and centralized fleet management into a single offering designed for life on the road.

EpicVue says the system is designed to address coverage gaps in areas where cellular networks are limited, such as rural highways and mountain passes. The Starlink satellite network is expected to eventually deploy as many as 42,000 satellites, enabling further coverage even in remote areas where traditional connectivity options are limited.

During a press conference at the Truckload Carriers Association annual convention in Orlando, the company’s president and CEO, Lance Platt, said the solution is aimed at fleets and drivers who require large amounts of data wherever they operate. He said drivers using streaming television and other services typically require about 200 GB of data per month — significantly more than what many existing business satellite packages provide.

The platform offers high-speed satellite connectivity with continuous roaming across North America and is designed to maintain service even when trucks move between coverage regions. For fleet operators, the system includes centralized management tools that provide GPS tracking updates, remote monitoring of device health and data usage, and simplified billing under a single service plan. For drivers, the satellite service can enable emergency services and tele-health access in areas without cellular coverage, while supporting video calls, streaming, and other applications used during rest breaks.

The connectivity can support a range of applications in the truck, from low-data telematics devices such as tire-pressure monitoring systems to high-bandwidth services including video streaming and gaming.

Lance added that fleets often run multiple cellular connections in each truck to support different devices and applications. The Starlink-based system is designed to consolidate those connections and could serve as a primary data source where cellular coverage is limited.

“There’s no reason necessarily to lose that 5G connection, they can still use it if it’s available to them,” Platt said when asked about if Starlink is meant to be drivers’ primary data source. “We’ve seen in a lot of cases that there’s, on average, about six or seven or more SIM cards per truck. You’re doubling, tripling, quadrupling the number of connections inside a truck unnecessarily. So this can be your primary data‑usage source, but it doesn’t have to be.”

EpicVue says the hardware is designed for the trucking environment, featuring low-profile units rated for high-vibration conditions and extreme weather. The system runs directly from truck power connections, eliminating the need for additional inverters.

While the Starlink fleet program is priced at $99 per month for 250 GB of data — with hardware either purchased upfront or included as part of a monthly service plan — TCA members can access it for a discounted rate of $89 per month for the same 250 GB plan. Lance said this is not a promotional offer but an ongoing price available to all TCA member fleets.

“Starlink right now, for their business customers, they start their package at 50 gigabits for $65 — it’s just not enough data. The next package up is $165. So we’re fitting a really strong sweet spot for the trucking industry,” Platt said.
