Legend Transportation Boosts Profitability Using SkyBitz Asset Monitoring Platform

“SkyBitz has allowed us to gain value in how we service our customer first and foremost.”

From One Truck and One Driver to Over a Thousand Trucks and Employees, Legend Transportation is Thriving

Thanks to the vision, hard work, and using smart technology to deliver excellent customer service and higher profitability, Legend Transportation has successfully grown its business in just twelve months after initial implementation. The family-owned trucking company based out of Phoenix, Arizona, contributes its success to a long-term investment strategy focused on its people, customers, and the use of technology that creates a transparent environment for both.

Legend Transportation owner, Sunny Samara, began driving trucks at age 21 and always aspired to build a successful transportation business of his own. Today, his trucking company does over the road transport in the “Eleven Western” and Texas states. They also have a dedicated fleet in Southern California, Arizona, and Washington. Starting with just one truck, his company soon purchased additional trucks and trailers to meet the growing demand of his customers.

Samara’s experience in the industry provided a deep understanding of the driver’s perspective as well. They believe drivers are the backbone of their business, and they wanted to equip them with easy-to-use tools that make their jobs easier.

They also wanted to extend the same level of service and support to their customers. Still, in order to improve their operation and provide increased visibility to their customers, they needed the right technology in place.

Legend sought leading commercial telematics company, SkyBitz, to understand their business and deliver the right solution. Implementing technology that would grow with them and provide real-time asset monitoring was a priority. Insight, SkyBitz trailer and asset monitoring platform enables true visibility into both the tractor and the trailer by integrating SkyBitz asset monitoring solution into their transportation management software (TMS), McLeod Software.

Legend gained immediate value from the SkyBitz platform because it allowed them to build trust, provide visibility and service their customers at the high level they desired. Legend Transportation is a customer-focused organization, and they recognize telematics technology as an essential tool for delivering quality support.

SkyBitz has an open API that allows them to integrate into any custom or proprietary TMS system, providing robust yet standardized reports, visual dashboards, trends analytics, and custom XML feeds. In addition, they are a Certified Integration Partner for McLeod, which enables them to integrate their asset monitoring platform, InSight, directly with Legend Transportation’s existing TMS software, allowing their operations team to connect the dots between their assets, product shipments, and their customers. This automated digital process provides a more accurate revenue stream, giving the users deeper visibility across its sales, dispatch, compliance, and billing divisions.


With SkyBitz Asset Monitoring, Legend Transportation can search, locate, and redeploy trailers that have been sitting idle. They’re now able to manage trailers more efficiently using the Yard Check feature. They can perform a virtual inventory of what trailers are sitting in the yard, for how long, and then reassign them to increase the number of loads per month carried by each trailer. This helps maximize margins and reduce the need to purchase additional trailers, which directly contributes to lowering capital expenses.

Also, Legend provides customers with access to their portal, allowing them to log in and enter a shipment number and track their shipment in real-time from anywhere in the world.
