Chris Saunders founded Integrated Communications in 2004 from his bonus room in Apex, NC, after spending five years in the B2B mobility industry. His vision for the company was simple: to deliver a better customer experience. Over the years, Chris has been behind some of the most well-known advancements in mobile field technology deployments.

In 2016, the trucking industry was required to implement Electronic Logging Device (ELD) technology. This was more than a business opportunity for Chris—it was personal. Growing up in the cab of a Kenworth K100, his father and grandfather each spent over 40 years behind the wheel, and his brother now runs his operation as an owner-operator. With trucking in his blood, Chris decided to steer Integrated Communications toward the trucking industry, aligning his company’s mission with his deep-rooted passion for supporting truck drivers.

Beyond trucking, Chris holds an immense respect and appreciation for all blue-collar professionals, often referred to as field techs. These individuals, the backbone of industries ranging from transportation to field services, have always inspired him. His commitment to empowering field techs—whether in the driver’s seat of a truck or working in the field—fuels the innovative solutions Integrated Communications delivers daily.

Chris’s passion for these professionals goes beyond technology; it’s about creating tools that enable them to succeed, stay safe, and remain connected on the job. Under his leadership, Integrated Communications continues to lead the charge in providing cutting-edge solutions for the trucking and field tech industries, relentlessly focusing on customer experience and worker satisfaction.
