Right now, we’re all feeling the summer heat. Uptake is looking to cool down many of the issues that fleets have to deal with in their day to day duties, as well as providing data to enable quick and easy decision making.
We’re excited to take the next steps in enabling fleets to have access to more data driven Insights with our new Uptake Tire Insights. TheTire Leak and TPMS Sensor Issue Insights give as much lead time as possible before a failure occurs. Recently, we have seen examples Tire Insights was able to capture data indicating an issue over a month before a tire fails resulting. Stopping a future on-road failure.
Want a sneak peak into the next release? Soon we will be releasing models to capture under and over inflation. Helping to extend the life cycle of a unit's tires, fuel economy, but also puts the vehicle at higher risk of experiencing a blowout. Another great step into viewing holistic vehicle data, we can capture from multiple different TPMS systems. No more worrying about monitoring various other platforms.
Uptake has partners whose vehicles travel 50 miles a day and others that travel 500 miles per day. We understand that different issues have different priorities and having the ability to tune the guidance and severity that comes with each of our Insights is very important to end users. In comes Insight Preferences, a new feature that moves towards further customization which we know is very important to organizations.
Those that know me know that empowering users with as much data as possible is extremely important to me. I’ve done a great deal of work recently building out the Recommended Actions that come with each of our Insights, I’ve personally revised and expanded on 120+ Insights to provide additional layers of prescriptiveness that ultimately provide our users with more data to make informed, quick decisions. Just another example of how our users seamlessly interact with our system in their day to day responsibilities, without spending any great deal of time.
We recently announced our partnership with Lynden Transport. I’ve personally had the pleasure of working with various teams that keep their trucks on the road and even more excited to continue to meet more fine folks in their organizations.
What's new in the news? Fleets are starting to brace for upcoming 2027 regulatory changes, proactively ordering model year 2025-2026 trucks as they continue to map out the replacement strategies for their fleets. I begin to wonder if fleets will start to extend the life cycle of their assets in the wake of the upcoming changes. From an operating cost perspective, what is the trade-off for keeping an asset, compared to significant cost increase when buying a new asset. Does your fleet have a pre-buy strategy ahead of 2027?
On the heels of Samsara Beyond, I was very impressed with Samsara’s new, ultra compact, asset tracker that can be attached to high value loads to prevent theft and mitigate lost freight, as well as making contributions to inventory management. I definitely see this device making an impact for fleet operation.

Y’all stay cool and stay safe!
