"Critical information relating to cost, schedules of preventative maintenance, and due dates for inspectable and internal processes are all easily facilitated through Link-X’s intuitive yet simple layout. The other item worth noting is the outstanding support received through Link-X. Questions get answered very quickly and issues are immediately addressed with clear detail. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to continue our relationship with Link-X. Thank you Tyler and Link-X team!"

Michael Eddy

Sr. Manager of Safety, Alter Metals Recycling, Inc

Alter Trading is among the nation's largest scrap recycling companies, operating over 60 locations across the Midwest. Established in 1898, the company manages a fleet of 4,000 vehicles and has been a valued client of Link-X since 2023.

Before Link-X

Alter Trading had no universal fleet management system. Every location was operating in isolation with information stored in papers, spreadsheets, and filing cabinets. The safety manager had to travel to each branch to understand what was happening. There was no uniformity for maintenance, compliance to company policy, or DOT mandates.
