Trailers play a crucial role in transporting various goods and necessities, making it essential for them to remain on the road functioning properly. Since these fleets need to remain on the road for extended periods, it's important to have various systems and innovations in place to ensure that drivers and fleet managers can have peace of mind. Fleet managers and drivers face numerous challenges on the road, but one of the most critical is maintaining proper tire pressure. With many unpredictable encounters on the road, fleets and fleet managers must consider solutions to deal with these possibilities. Low tire pressure not only jeopardizes the safety of the vehicle but also impacts the performance of the trailer and the overall efficiency of the system.
