Isaac Gains DOD Approval for Military Shipment Tracking
[Stay on top of transportation news: .]
Trucking technology supplier Isaac Instruments has announced its platform with satellite communication has been approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for motor carriers hauling sensitive military shipments.
The Defense Transportation Tracking System certification, granted by DoD in April, required Isaac to meet stringent qualifications and undergo exhaustive testing, the telematics vendor said.
“Isaac is honored to achieve this certification and considers it a tremendous privilege to be a trusted technology partner by the U.S. Department of Defense,” said Jacques DeLarochelliere, Isaac’s CEO and co-founder. “Our team strives every day to help simplify trucking and develop innovative ways to make highways safer.”
The DTTS program provides constant tracking and oversight of DoD shipments of sensitive and hazardous materials, including arms, ammunition and explosives, as they are transported by a select group of qualified motor carriers.

The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command oversees the tracking program to ensure the security of these shipments and facilitate an emergency response if needed.
Two of the fleets that participate in the program conducted successful pilot projects using the Isaac platform as part of the system’s certification process.
Isaac joins a short list of DTTS-approved telematics systems. Others include Omnitracs’ satellite tracking system and SkyBitz trailer tracking.
“It takes tremendous sophistication for motor carriers and technology providers to serve the U.S. military and move these critical shipments,” said Sam Sussenguth, Isaac’s chief sales and marketing officer. “The ability to obtain DTTS certification highlights the expertise and reliability that Isaac can offer trucking fleets, regardless of what they are hauling.”
