RFID Security

QuikQ Announces Q-Gate“Q-Gate enhances yard security for trucking operations by employing the same RFID technology used in QuikQ’s fueling system at truck stops. With QuikQ Q-Gate, RFID tags installed on trucks or trailers identify equipment entering or leaving an unattended site. When Q-Gate is integrated with a dispatch system it can match units before opening a gate, eliminating the possibility of the wrong trailer leaving a yard or a trailer heading in the wrong direction.”Ernie Betancourt, PresidentQuikQ

Sharing Knowledge“PIT Conference 2015 was about sharing ideas and information. Open conversation between carriers, industry leaders, influencers, and suppliers about what works and what doesn’t is very beneficial. Together at PIT Conference, fleet operators, developers and manufacturers shape advances that could improve and redefine the North American trucking industry.”Yves Provencher, DirectorPIT Group
