The challenge

Freight brokers running mixed fleets had no live view of location, fuel, or engine health, so utilization and load-matching ran on phone calls. Trukkr needed hardware-grade telemetry and a backend that could place and track loads in real time.

What we built

The full pipeline, end to end — not a blurb.

  1. 01Hardware

    An OBD-II telematics dongle — STM32, GNSS, and a cellular modem reading the vehicle CAN bus.

  2. 02Firmware

    OBD/CAN decoding, trip detection, and store-and-forward through cellular gaps.

  3. 03Backend

    A Go ingest path over MQTT, a geospatial matching service, and a Kafka event bus.

  4. 04Product

    A dispatcher dashboard and driver app with live tracking.

  5. 05Operations

    Kubernetes with autoscaling and Grafana observability.

Results

340 ms

p95 load-assignment time across the active fleet

22%

higher truck utilization after live matching

99.9%

dongle uptime over a six-month field window

18%

drop in reported fuel pilferage from anomaly alerts

Now the operational backbone for dispatch across the network.
