Three small fleet operators with diverse fleets discuss their needs for a telematics system, how they chose the right provider, and their process for implementation.

Verizon Connect has begun offering a navigation mobile app that works with its Verizon Connect Reveal telematics platform and helps give drivers directions based on their vehicle and load types, the company announced.
