ABOUT PHILLIPS CONNECT
At Phillips Connect, we transform trailers into connected assets, giving fleets the visibility, insights, and control needed to run safer and more efficient operations.
When Rob Phillips founded Phillips Connect, his purpose was to solve real problems for the people he’d spent more than two decades working alongside in the trucking industry. Those relationships with fleet operators and OEM partners put us in front of the largest fleets in the country from day one, and our Connect1 platform was built from those conversations, tested and refined at the scale that only real operations can provide. The mission hasn’t changed since.
HOW WE WORK
These aren’t values on a wall. They’re the commitments that show up in every product decision and every customer call.
Our Connect1 platform turns trailer data into real-time visibility across cargo capacity, tire health, brake performance, and more, putting the right information in front of the right people in time to actually do something about it.
Our partnerships aren’t accidental. We build what fleets ask for, fix what isn’t working, and stay in the conversation long after the install.
Most fleets have more trailers than trucks and far less visibility into them. No alerts, no data, no clear owner. That’s the gap we close with smart trailer technology built specifically for the trailer.
Autonomous freight doesn’t work without intelligent trailers. The infrastructure it runs on has to be built now, by people who understand the trailer. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing.
STRAIGHT FROM THE ROAD
The most trusted fleets and trailer manufacturers rely on Phillips Connect to keep their operations efficient. Here is what they found:
We wanted something that would be easy for our people to use, reliable over the long term, and discreet on every trailer type.
