Most trailer fleets still run on fragmented systems, manual yard checks, and periodic brake tests. The result: wasted time, hidden idle assets, missed billable detention, and harder-to-prove roadworthiness. Eighteen months on from the DVSA's move to laden brake testing, that gap is now a hard cost: fleets still running four laden brake tests per trailer a year are carrying the spend, the downtime, and the admin — just as 2027 maintenance budgets are being set.

Join Samsara’s product team for a live Smart Trailers demo to see how connected trailers provide visibility into location, utilisation, and brake performance through EBPMS data from the AG53 Asset Gateway.

In this session, you'll see:

• Real-time location and alerting: see where every trailer is without ringing round depots and yards

• Utilisation and inventory: identify idle trailers and redeploy them before hiring in more

• Detention and revenue capture: automate detention tracking so ready-to-bill time doesn't go uninvoiced

• Maintenance, uptime, and electronic braking performance monitoring (EBPMS): keep brake performance under continuous monitoring, surface trailer health alerts early, and produce DVSA-aligned brake performance reporting without extra manual checks
