The logistics company, Duvenbeck, and Schmitz Cargobull have been working together for more than 15 years. They have jointly developed the S.CS MEGA curtainsider semi-trailer, and Duvenbeck is so impressed with the TrailerConnect® telematics system CTU that it is now equipping its entire trailer fleet with it.
