SkyBitz Sells 1,500 More Tracking Units to Ga. Carrier Brown Trucking

SkyBitz Inc. said it has sold 1,500 more of its GLS mobile terminals for tracking trailers to truckload carrier Brown Trucking Co., Lithonia, Ga.

“We’re replacing tracking units that we had from another company,” said Brian Kinsey, president of Brown Trucking, also known as James Brown Contracting Inc. He also noted his company has been buying SkyBitz’s GLS tracking devices since 2008 for its 3,000-unit trailer fleet.

Brown Trucking also placed orders with SkyBitz’s GLS mobile terminals in June. SkyBitz, Sterling, Va., makes technology tracking products for the trucking industry.

The GLS tags are used with  SkyBitz’s InSight product, a Web-based system that allows users to obtain real-time information for trailers, the company said.

Brown Trucking operates out of 12 terminals, using a fleet of about 835 trucks to serve a nine-state area in the southern United States.
