Dashdoc Makes Its Mark at America's Premier Trucking Event
The American Trucking Associations' 2025 Management Conference & Exhibition (MCE) brought together trucking's most influential leaders in San Diego from October 25-28, 2025. With the theme "A United Front: Driving Policy in a New Era," the event provided the perfect backdrop for Dashdoc to showcase how European transportation innovation can address American market challenges.
Dashdoc's presence attracted significant attention from US carriers, fleet managers, and industry decision-makers eager to explore modern TMS solutions. Located strategically next to Platform Science and Tenstreet, our team demonstrated how Dashdoc's platform streamlines planning, dispatch, and collaboration for carriers and shippers.

The American Trucking Market: Current Challenges and Opportunities
MCE ATA 2025 provided valuable insights into the state of the American trucking industry. Despite facing a third consecutive year of freight recession, the industry demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability.
Key Market Challenges Observed:
Economic Pressures: The ongoing freight recession continues to impact carrier profitability, with operating costs hitting record highs while freight rates remain suppressed.
Driver Shortage Crisis: Turnover rates, retiring drivers, and workforce challenges make it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain qualified drivers.
Digital Transformation Urgency: Carriers recognize the need to modernize operations but often struggle with implementation and integration.
Cybersecurity Concerns: Growing awareness of digital threats and the need for robust security measures in fleet management systems.
4 Key Takeaways for US Carriers from MCE ATA 2025
1. Automation Is No Longer Optional
The freight recession has made operational efficiency critical for survival. Carriers implementing automated dispatch, planning, and invoicing report productivity gains of up to 30%. Manual processes that once seemed manageable now represent competitive disadvantages.
2. Real-time Visibility Transforms Customer Relationships
Modern shippers expect Amazon-level visibility into their freight movements. Providing real-time tracking, automated notifications, and accurate ETAs reduces customer service calls while building stronger partnerships.
3. Integrated TMS Solutions Deliver Measurable ROI
Carriers using comprehensive TMS platforms report cost reductions of 2-5% annually through optimized planning, reduced fuel consumption, and improved resource utilization. The key is choosing solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems.
4. International Expertise Offers Competitive Advantages
European transportation companies have faced similar challenges for years, developing proven solutions for driver shortages, environmental regulations, and operational efficiency. This experience translates directly to American market needs.
