Door Sensors
Know When Every Trailer Door Opens and Closes
A door opening can signal a completed delivery, the start of loading, an unexpected delay, or a potential security threat.
Door sensors, part of XTRA Intelligence, record each door-open and door-close event with a precise timestamp. That event can trigger alerts, add context to the trailer journey, and prompt CargoVision™ to capture an image of the trailer interior.
The result is a clearer record of what happened, where it happened, and what changed inside the trailer.
Door sensors are included on equipped XTRA Lease trailers at no additional cost.
Turn Every Door Movement Into an Actionable Event
A trailer's location only tells part of the story. Door activity helps fleets understand what is happening at that location.
When a door opens or closes, XTRA Intelligence records the event and connects it with the trailer's location and status. Fleet managers can use that information to confirm activity, identify exceptions, and respond faster without relying on a phone call or manual trailer check.
Trigger CargoVision Images
When the trailer doors open or close, the door sensors signal CargoVision to capture an image of the trailer interior.
That image adds visual confirmation to the event, helping fleets see whether freight was loaded, unloaded, or changed while the doors were open.
The door sensor records the activity. CargoVision shows what happened inside.
Support Detention and Delivery Verification
Door timestamps help document when a trailer is actively being loaded or unloaded.
Paired with geofence arrival and departure records, door events can provide a clearer timeline for detention review, delivery verification, and customer conversations. Instead of relying only on estimated arrival and departure times, fleets gain a record of the activity that happened between them.
Create a Clearer Freight Timeline
Door events help fleets understand when loading or unloading activity begins and ends.
Instead of only knowing that a trailer arrived at a facility, fleet managers can see when the doors opened, when they closed, and how long the trailer remained at the location. That creates a more complete view of the freight journey from dock to dock.
Strengthen Cargo Security
Door sensors help fleets identify access that may require immediate attention.
When door activity is paired with StealthNet+ location data and CargoVision images, fleet managers can see where the doors opened and what changed inside the trailer. That creates a more useful record for reviewing suspicious events, investigating cargo discrepancies, and protecting freight.
Receive Alerts When Door Activity Matters
Not every door opening requires attention. The wrong door opening at the wrong time or place does.
Fleets can create alerts for events such as a door opening:
- Outside an approved geofence
- During a trip
That gives operations and security teams the ability to respond to exceptions sooner.
How Door Sensors Work
- The trailer door opens or closes.
- The sensor records the event and precise timestamp.
- XTRA Intelligence connects the event with the trailer's location and status.
- CargoVision captures an interior image.
- Alerts and event information are available through myXTRA.
One simple sensor helps connect multiple parts of the trailer journey into a clearer, more actionable record.
