ATLANTA, GA and SAN DIEGO, CA — June 9, 2026 — Relay Payments, a leading digital payments platform for the trucking and logistics industry, and Platform Science, a leading application platform for transportation, today announced a new integration that brings Relay’s fueling and payment solutions to the Platform Science Virtual Vehicle Marketplace and directly into fleets’ in-cab ecosystem. Platform Science joins 300+ TMS, ELD, and other third-party systems that integrate with Relay, extending Relay’s ecosystem across the tools fleets already use every day. Cheema Freightlines LLC, a leading carrier, is already seeing the impact of the integration across its operations, supporting a fleet of 400+ drivers.
Key benefits of the Relay and Platform Science integration include:
“Relay is focused on removing friction from the driver experience while giving fleets greater visibility and control over their operations,” said Ryan Droege, CEO of Relay Payments. “By integrating directly with Platform Science, we’re making it easier than ever for fleets to deploy secure, modern payment solutions that drivers actually want to use.”
“Platform Science is committed to giving fleets the flexibility to choose the tools and solutions that best fit their operations,” said Emilie Campbell, VP of Marketplace, Platform Science. “Through our integration with Relay Payments, fleets gain secure, seamless digital payment capabilities that reduce fraud risk, streamline transactions, and improve efficiency on the road.”
Mutual customer Cheema Freightlines LLC is excited about the initial results, strengthening controls for fuel spend and fraud protection.
“Fuel is one of our largest expenses, and fraud has always been a concern for our industry,” said Harman Cheema, CEO of Cheema Freightlines LLC. “With Relay and Platform Science now integrated, our 400+ drivers have a much simpler experience, and Relay Pulse gives us confidence that every transaction is verified against real-time data. It’s been a meaningful step forward for both efficiency and security.”
