About Alter Trading

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.
