FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KANSAS CITY, MO — April 2026 — Idle Smart, a technology company helping heavy-duty fleets reduce fuel costs and prevent unplanned downtime, is announcing a partnership with Transervice Logistics Inc., one of North America’s premier fleet management and leasing companies. Together, the two companies are deploying Idle Smart’s automatic battery protection technology across Transervice’s fleet to ensure truck batteries stay charged and ready to go.
Transervice has spent more than 55 years building a reputation for reliability, and selecting the right technology partners is part of how they protect it. When evaluating solutions to address battery-related downtime, Transervice chose Idle Smart for its ability to cost-effectively deliver the peace of mind that trucks will always start, without asking drivers to do anything.
Battery failures are more than just costly service calls. A single roadside service call on a commercial truck can exceed $1,200 in labor alone, before accounting for the downstream costs of a missed commitment and the harm to customer relationships. In colder months, the risk compounds: low temperatures accelerate battery drain and increase the likelihood of fuel gelling and cold starts.
“No-starts aren’t just expensive, they hurt relationships with our customers and delay getting products to store shelves,” said Mark Prusak, Assistant Vice President, Transervice Logistics Inc. “With Idle Smart, I’m confident the batteries are charged and ready to go. Even when drivers are home for their days off, they know their trucks will start when they get back. That kind of reliability is how we provide the level of service our customers expect from us.”
Idle Smart is the only product on the market that automatically starts and stops a truck without relying on drivers to engage it, monitoring battery state in real time and responding before a problem develops. For an organization whose reputation is built on accountability and uptime, trucks that start automatically, no matter what, mean one less thing left to chance.
“Each jump start event will degrade a battery’s life by 5 to 10%, so the problem compounds if you’re not addressing it at the source,” said Steve Smith, Vice President of Sales, Idle Smart. “Transervice holds itself to an exceptionally high standard, and so do their customers; that means a dead battery isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a broken promise. Eliminating the risk of a dead battery automatically, without asking a driver to do anything extra, is exactly how Idle Smart helps Transervice keep their promises.”
Transervice has built its reputation on making sure its customers never have to worry about the reliability of their freight. This partnership is one more way they’re making sure that never changes.
