Konexial CEO Ken Evans Talks Freight Tech at Transparency19 Conference in Atlanta

Evans will join Ryan Rogers, Chief Transformation Officer, Covenant Transport; and Charley Dehoney, CEO, Manning's Truck Brokerage to discuss the continuing momentum of digital freight technology in the over-the-road trucking industry.

"Technology has changed the trucking industry forever—it wasn't too long ago that most drivers were still using a flip phone," said Evans. "The emergence of digital freight brokering to create more earning potential for drivers and the continued use of data from ELDs has created incredible opportunities within the industry."


In March 2019, Konexial released the 2019 version of its My20 Tower, an enterprise fleet management system based on My20 ELD next-generation telematics technology. Designed specifically for fleet managers, My20 Tower contains everything needed to meet FMCSA electronic logging device compliance, while receiving real-time data on all trucks and drivers on the road, and using that ELD data to enable dynamic load matching—providing opportunities to utilize all freight assets and dramatically increase earning potential for an entire fleet.

Transparency19, presented by FreightWaves, will be held May 6-8 at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta. Transparency19 features Brad Jacobs of XPO Logistics as the Visionary Keynote on May 7 and the entire agenda will cover innovation and digitization trends across trucking, logistics, supply chain, blockchain, IoT, telematics and data.
