GPS Route Tracker: Optimize Routes & Cut Costs Now

What Is a GPS Route Tracker and How Does It Differ from Basic Location Tracking?

Track Your Truck’s GPS route tracker system combines hardware and software to help you manage real-time routing, dispatch, and navigation. With it, you’ll be able to see more than points on a map — our platform integrates with mapping services to provide current vehicle location data, traffic conditions, optimized routes, and driver-assignment logic. The NetTrack platform pairs carrier-approved GPS devices with easy-to-use software so even small fleets can gain control over their routing without adding a lot in the way of technical complexity. Track Your Truck’s system improves operational efficiency and customer service by making sure your vehicles always take the best route.

How Real-Time Dispatching and Driver Allocation Work

With a real-time map showing all vehicles and job sites using GPS signals, NetTrack makes it easy for dispatchers to use fleets in the most efficient and effective manner. All they need to do is choose the driver closest to the site through live positioning. This reduces the amount of time drivers spend idling or moving without purpose. Our system reduces response times, improves customer satisfaction, and lowers the number of unnecessary miles driven.

Being able to see all vehicles and their statuses in real-time also means managers can reassign tasks to different drivers dynamically to overcome delays and balance workloads. It adds up to a better and more consistent utilization for every driver. For small fleets, smarter dispatching results in more productivity and lower overhead.

Find the Closest Driver

Improve customer service. Decrease the time your customers spend waiting for a delivery or service by dispatching the driver nearest the customer, drop-off location or service call.

How Track Your Truck Helps

Our car route tracker makes it easy to find the location of a single vehicle or your entire fleet. You can quickly assign the closest vehicle to the desired destination.

How Direction and Navigation Support Works for Drivers

Is a driver at the wrong address? Does the driver know how to get to an unfamiliar location? We make tracking a route easy, so your drivers can get to their destinations. Dispatchers can push new directions and route changes directly to the driver’s mobile device or onboard GPS unit, eliminating back-and-forth phone calls and paper directions. The integration NetTrack provides with mapping services means up-to-the-minute traffic updates and alternate routes that help drivers avoid delays, detours, and wrong turns. Cleaner navigation reduces driver stress and improves their adherence to schedules, enhancing safety by minimizing risky behaviors or getting lost.

How Track Your Truck Helps

If a driver is lost, your live route tracker provides information about the vehicle’s current location, while the routing information lets you send turn-by-turn directions to your drivers’ phones.

How Route Tracking Helps Eliminate Wasted Time and Idle Fuel

 Your time is valuable; every minute that your vehicle is on the road costs you money in fuel and labor. Reducing idle time between stops improves your business productivity. Comprehensive tracking reports from NetTrack show you idle time, stop durations, and deadhead travel. This gives your managers the ability to see where drivers are wasting the most time. Based on this information, you can direct your drivers to take fuel-saving measures such as shutting off engines when waiting or not taking unplanned side trips. The U.S. Department of Energy says that wasteful, aggressive driving behaviors can lower a fleet’s fuel economy by up to 40%, and NetTrack can bring that under control.

How Track Your Truck Helps

GPS vehicle tracking is an ideal way to manage your fleet and your drivers’ time. When employees know they’re being tracked, they work more responsibly and eliminate unnecessary stops. Plus, decreasing idle time allows you to squeeze more jobs into the day, or make more trips in a shorter period of time, which makes customers happy.

How Route Optimization Drives Efficiency and Cost Savings

Paper maps can be outdated and may not show street changes. Maps cannot indicate problem areas like construction zones and traffic jams.  Avoiding congestion, unnecessary miles, and inefficient sequences ensures your fleet can reduce fuel usage and improve on-time performance. For small fleets, they can complete more jobs with the same number of vehicles, helping them reduce their capital spending and improve utilization.

How Track Your Truck Helps

GPS fleet tracking with real-time mapping is an effective way to create more efficient routes. Optimizing the routes your vehicles take lowers fuel costs and saves you money. By reporting updated traffic conditions, including the locations of traffic jams, bottlenecks and emergency and weather-related closings, our real-time tracking helps you navigate around problems.

How to Choose a Route Tracker Ideal for Small Fleets

Fleets with less than 40 vehicles need software that’s easy to use as well as hardware that can be installed easily in a wide range of vehicles. Track Your Truck’s NetTrack platform offers these as well as transparent pricing, strong U.S.-based customer support, a money-back guarantee, and two-year warranties. Our route tracker also connects maintenance tracking, driver behavior monitoring, reporting, and dispatching all under the same platform.
