Drōv, Kraft unite to deliver aftermarket smart tanker solutions

National Tank Truck Carriers continued to celebrate its 80th anniversary at Tank Truck Week 2025 by tackling the issues of today, exploring the solutions of tomorrow, and reconnecting with members from yesterday.

“This year’s Tank Truck Week embraces yesterday, today, and tomorrow—and part of that is welcoming members who’ve come back,” said Ryan Streblow, NTTC president and CEO. “We’ve had an amazing year with fleets and carriers coming on board. So we have a great group already, and commitments from a variety of carriers that aren’t members now but have heard about the progress we’ve been making over the past three to five years.

“We’re a recognized name on Capitol Hill, we’re fully embedded in the regulatory environment, and we’re laser-focused on improving the tank truck industry’s image—and that’s really starting to resonate.”

Tank Truck Week 2025 ran Oct. 5-8 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Among the news of interest to Trailer-Body Builders readers, Drōv Technologies’ AirBoxOne smart-trailer system is now available to any manufacturer’s tanker through a new aftermarket agreement with Kraft Tank that allows operators to upgrade equipment with intelligent technology that reduces downtime, optimizes fuel efficiency, and enhances safety.

“This partnership marks an exciting new chapter in aftermarket innovation for the tank trailer sector,” Drōv CEO Lisa Mullen said. “By combining Drōv’s advanced sensor-driven solutions with Kraft’s unmatched installation and servicing capabilities, we’re enabling fleets to unlock unprecedented operational insights and reliability.”

EnTrans International, the parent company of Heil Trailer, Polar Tank, and other tanker brands, remains the exclusive provider of the factory-integrated TankAi platform powered by Drōv’s AirBoxOne, a cloud-enabled control box with multiple wireless connections that unites smart components, including trailer cameras, weight sensors, and automatic tire-pressure regulators. But as Drōv’s preferred partner, Kraft now will be able to install, repair, and maintain AirBoxOne-enabled ecosystems in any fleet’s newly purchased, used, or leased tank trailers.

“Kraft can bring these fleets in and monitor their trailer systems,” Bob Davis, Drōv vice president of business enterprise, told TBB. “They have the facilities and the capabilities to diagnose various issues. And it might not be an AirBoxOne issue. It could be an ABS sensor. Well, they understand that, and they can fix it before any major problems occur.”

Drōv first introduced its solution to tank fleets at Tank Truck Week  2021. Four years later, the Oklahoma City-based company is still adding and testing innovative new features such as dry bulk pressure sensors and multi-axle tire monitoring.

“We’ve had great feedback from fleets who’ve already equipped the AirBoxOne, and we have a lot of people asking for it—so they can truly monitor the entire trailer,” said Jeremy Capra, Kraft parts director. “There is nobody else out there who can deliver that ability to this level.”

Drōv’s technology unlocks real-time trailer health monitoring and comprehensive data collection. The partnership with Kraft leverages the tank trailer equipment and service provider’s nationwide network and expertise to expand distribution, professional retrofitting, and ongoing system care, ensuring seamless integration and long-term support for customers.
