SmartStop is a national telecommunications-based solutions provider to the trucking industry. Dedicated to serving commercial fleets, drivers and truck stops, SmartStop has developed a nationwide network of voice, data and video communications and smart card transaction solutions.

Examples of SmartStop's network services include:

Fleet Communications Network: As a result of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, commercial fleets face DAC charges each time drivers place calls to their fleet's toll free numbers. For large fleets, these charges can range from $50,000 to over $100,000 each year. Through SmartStop's Fleet Direct and Fleet Access products, fleets can reduce or eliminate these DAC charges.

Fleet Direct™: Allows fleets to avoid DAC and take advantage of SmartStop’s volume discounted rate over dependable AT&T lines. Drivers simply dial existing 800 # from the truck stop’s public access phone, requiring no change in driver habits.
  
Fleet Access™:

Allows fleets to avoid DAC while keeping their long distance carrier and using the truck stop’s phone system for a flat transaction fee per call. Drivers simply dial existing 800 # from the truck stop’s public access phone, requiring no change in driver habits.

Private Data Networks: The trucking industry is generally consolidating, with regional and national truck stop chains and fleet operators purchasing smaller, well managed businesses. As these businesses grow, their need for regional and national data networks increases.  SmartStop provides these customers with integrated data network solutions between headquarters and satellite locations.
