DuraPlate® dry van platform anchors integrated ecosystem designed to extend asset life, reduce downtime and improve total fleet performance
Wabash (NYSE: WNC), a leader in end-to-end supply chain solutions for the transportation, logistics and infrastructure markets, will demonstrate how durable engineering and digital intelligence are transforming trailer lifecycle performance at the 2026 Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition March 16-19 in Nashville.
At booth #3218, Wabash will showcase its industry-leading DuraPlate® dry van platform alongside new cargo assurance technology, digital configuration and order tracking tools and OEM-backed parts solutions designed to help fleets extend asset life, reduce downtime and maximize revenue potential from every trailer.
DuraPlate Platform on Display
The booth experience will center on a full DuraPlate® dry van trailer, highlighting the engineering, durability and serviceability features that have made the platform a benchmark for long term-fleet performance. Key features on display include:
DuraPlate composite panel construction engineered for long-term durability
AAR-rated galvanized kingpin package for enhanced corrosion resistance
Galvanized components designed to extend service life
Phillips rearview camera system for improved operational visibility
Kinedyne J & K-Track cargo management systems
Interior cargo cameras to support optimized loading visibility
Advanced edge detection technology designed to improve operational awareness
Next Generations Cargo Assurance
Wabash will also showcase its new cargo assurance solution designed to help fleets strengthen cargo security and improve shipment visibility. The patent-pending solution integrates a digitally connected cargo door and an intelligent locking system with the TrailerHawk.AITM technology platform. By linking physical access control with real-time digital visibility, the system enables fleets to monitor cargo access, detect potential security risks and maintain chain-of-custom throughout transit. This approach transforms cargo security from passive monitoring into active assurance by creating secure points of contact at the cargo door and enabling encrypted communication, in-transit monitoring and proactive intervention.
The TrailerHawk.AI digital assurance and chain-of-custody workflows are in use today with carriers using the mobile application for inspections, verification and asset visibility. At TMC, attendees can experience live demonstrations of the cargo door and lock, along with TrailerHawk.AI workflows including real-time alerts, verified access and chain-of-custody tracking.
Digital Innovation Simplifying Order to Delivery
Wabash will also highlight a growing suite of digital innovations designed to simplify specification, maintenance planning, and parts ordering.
Solutions on display include:
Spec It – digital trailer specification platform
Track It – asset tracking and visibility tools
Stock It – parts inventory management support
PartsIQ – Wabash’s e-commerce platform for OEM-backed parts
Combined with Wabash’s nationwide dealer network and Preferred Partner Network, these innovations create a comprehensive lifecycle support ecosystem that helps fleets accelerate repairs, reduce downtime and maintain predictable maintenance costs.
“Wabash’s presence at TMC reflects our broader focus of supporting fleets throughout the full lifecycle of the trailer,” said Mike Pettit, Senior Vice President, Chief Growth Officer. “By combining durable engineering, OEM-backed parts availability, nationwide service support and digital innovations, we are focused on helping fleets improve operational efficiency, extend asset life and keep them on the road longer.”
Wabash representatives will be available throughout TMC to demonstrate the DuraPlate® dry van platform, TrailerHawk cargo security technology and the company’s integrated parts and digital fleet management innovations, while discussing strategies to help fleets improve durability, uptime and lifecycle performance.

WabashTM Unveils Next-Generation Cargo Assurance Solution at Manifest 2026February 9, 2026 1:23 PM
Business Wire
Digitally connected cargo door and TrailerHawk.AI platform provide verified access, chain-of-custody data and real-time alerts to help reduce cargo theft
Wabash today announced the debut of a next-generation cargo assurance solution at Manifest 2026 in Las Vegas. This patent pending integrated solution pairs a digitally connected cargo door and intelligent locking system with the TrailerHawk.AITM technology platform to link physical access control with real-time visibility and actionable assurance events to help prevent cargo theft.
Cargo theft remains a growing challenge across the U.S. supply chain. New research from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) released in October 2025 estimates that cargo theft costs the industry as much as $6.6 billion annually. The Wabash solution is designed to help shippers, carriers and 3PLs transition from after-the-fact loss response to earlier detection and clearer accountability by providing verified access, exception alerts and an end-to-end record of custody.
“The industry can no longer afford to rely on disconnected cargo security tools that lack true access control and don’t verify who is touching the freight,” said Brett Suma, managing director at Wabash. “Wabash is taking a new approach to overcoming these challenges with our cargo assurance solution, showing how the trailer itself becomes part of a secure, connected system that helps prevent theft.”
Traditional cargo security tools such as disposable seals and passive tracking devices offer limited protection and little control. Wabash’s cargo assurance solution combines a purpose-built cargo door and intelligent locking system with TrailerHawk.AI’s connected platform, delivering real-time visibility and alerts wherever the cargo travels. The new solution transforms cargo assurance from passive monitoring into active assurance by creating multiple secure points of contact at the cargo door, enabling encrypted communication, in-transit monitoring and proactive intervention.
The solution is also designed to combat “strategic” or orchestrated cargo theft, where legitimate drivers are unknowingly used in fraud schemes due to broken information chains. By validating driver identity and carrier relationships and connecting those checks to physical access at the cargo door, customers can reduce uncertainty at handoffs and strengthen in-transit control.
“Wabash is redefining how the industry approaches cargo protection and creating a shift from loss mitigation to proactive risk prevention that safeguards assets, operations and customer trust,” Suma added. “We are already seeing customers overcome cargo security challenges by connecting digital identity, physical access control and chain-of-custody tracking.”
The TrailerHawk.AI digital assurance and chain-of-custody workflows are in use today with carriers using the mobile application for inspections, verification and asset visibility. The solution will first launch as a retrofit option for TaaS Pools in 2026. Next, it will be available as an option on new Wabash trailers or as a Wabash trailer retrofit in 2027 and expand from there.
At Manifest, attendees can experience live demonstrations of the cargo door and lock, along with TrailerHawk.AI workflows including real-time alerts, verified access and chain-of-custody tracking. Wabash will also host a breakout session with Brett Suma on the Manifest Innovation stage on February 10 at 10:50 a.m. His session, “The Future of Cargo Assurance,” will walk through how the physical and digital components work together to deliver active cargo assurance. For more information or to see the solution in action, visit Wabash at Booth #1513 during Manifest 2026.
