TULSA, OK (February 17, 2025) Tenstreet, the leading truck driver recruiting and software solutions provider for the trucking industry, announced its acquisition of TextLocate, the leading provider of driver communications for third-party logistic providers. This strategic combination will seamlessly enhance driver communications with new freight visibility features coupled with automation to save time, improve transparency, and remove friction for both sides of the network.

As the dominant driver communication provider for the logistics industry, TextLocate combines chat and image capture with location, a powerful functionality trifecta that leverages workflow automation to take driver visibility to the next level. With TextLocate’s driver fraud deterrence and Tenstreet’s commitment to privacy, compliance, and security, both companies’ dedication to protecting driver data and identity ensures drivers, brokers, and carriers can rest easy.

As part of an ongoing mission to improve connections across the supply chain, the acquisition will bolster Tenstreet’s line of driver-centric efficiency and logistics tools by leveraging the Driver Pulse app, used by millions of drivers each year to manage their workdays and their careers, and joining forces with both TruckMap, Tenstreet’s trucking-specific navigation platform, and True Load Time, its detention-management service.

TextLocate CEO Ryan Rogers expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition. “The inefficiencies of traditional communication methods are what drove me to create a solution that actually facilitates communication, simplifies your day, and makes it easy for drivers. I’m beyond excited to work alongside the Tenstreet team to continue revolutionizing logistics and communications for the entire industry.”

Tim Crawford, CEO of Tenstreet, shares Rogers’ passion. “With its driver-first focus, TextLocate is a natural fit for Tenstreet. The combined functionality will augment communications throughout the supply chain, improving relationships and adding new efficiencies – two things we constantly strive for in product development and in our own strategic growth.”
