GP Transco is giving its truckers a special gift this Christmas: brand new iPads with unlimited data, aiming to keep drivers connected with their families while on the road.
What’s happening: The Illinois-based trucking company has long been recognized for using technology to improve life for its drivers. This holiday season, they've taken it a step further by providing iPads with free unlimited data and 30GB of hotspot capability.
- The devices help drivers stay in touch with loved ones through services like FaceTime for long video calls without worry.
- The plan also allows access to movies, games, and sports, making downtime more enjoyable after long driving hours.
Behind the gift: The idea originated from driver feedback. GP Transco conducted thorough surveys to pinpoint in-cab data issues faced by drivers and sought this solution to bolster morale and efficiency.
This approach aligns with their efforts to maintain a driver-first company culture, promoting satisfaction and operational excellence, reported Yahoo Finance.
The company’s recognition: GP Transco was recently named one of the best trucking companies to work for in the U.S., highlighting its commitment to employee satisfaction and innovation.
Founded in 2006, GP Transco has grown to over 550 trucks and aims to continue expanding its supportive working environment for drivers nationwide.
