Keeping an Eye on Your Company Trucks

If you doubt the efficiency of your current fleet operations, you’ve likely asked, “Can I track where my company trucks are going and find out what they are doing along their routes?” The answer is yes: Devices are made specifically to monitor the progress of your fleet, and they can be installed in a way that is discrete and effective for your company.

How You Can Track Your Company Vehicle

Tracking a company vehicle is simple if you have the right equipment and software. GPS tracking is increasingly more common as businesses and government agencies recognize the benefits, such as employee tracking and coordination.

A GPS tracking system works by allowing a fleet manager to observe its vehicles remotely. Devices relay information back to the company, which can then determine vehicle position, speed and direction of travel. Certain tracking devices, when paired with reliable software, can update frequently enough to provide a real-time picture of the situation on the ground.

The Benefits of GPS Tracking

GPS tracking is an investment that pays off. A company has countless reasons why it should know the travel details of its fleet. Reasons are time- and money-related.

When companies use GPS tracking, one of the key reasons cited is employee monitoring. Satellite tracking devices, when used discretely, can help identify troubling trends. For example, if a vehicle pauses for longer than necessary along its route, or if it takes a different route entirely, a fleet manager is immediately aware and can act to curb that unacceptable behavior.

In addition to spotting unusual driver activity, GPS tracking can help a business plan more efficient routes and communicate with others – both drivers and customers. With easy-to-use maps and real-time updates, a fleet manager or dispatcher can get a better sense of traffic patterns and route effectiveness.

Your Options for Vehicle Tracking Devices

You have multiple options for tracking your fleet. An expert can help you decide what package would be best for your specific needs.

Track Your Truck provides everything a company needs for accurate, reliable tracking. We use our own web-based tracking software called NetTrack to provide a host of information necessary for keeping tabs on a single vehicle or an entire fleet. We also offer a number of tracking devices to meet the varying needs of our customers.

We group our devices by how they communicate. One option is cellular, real-time tracking, which allows the device to communicate via cellular. This option is good for fleets operating within a single, reliable coverage zone. Our cellular device options include the following:

• Coyote ST Standard Real-Time Tracking

• Coyote RT Rapid Real-Time Tracking

• Coyote AT Advanced Real-Time Tracking

• SkyHawk TT – Active/Passive Trailer/Equipment Tracking

• SkyHawk TT-S – Passive, Self-Contained Trailer/Equipment Tracking

Our satellite devices communicate without the use of cellular towers, making them a good option for remote fleets or assets that frequently travel outside cellular coverage. Our options for these devices include the following:

• SkyHawk II-S – Pure Satellite Asset and Theft Recovery Tracking

• SkyHawk II – Pure Satellite Asset/Equipment Tracking
