For electric utility companies, service vehicles are crucial. As these vehicles are responsible for ensuring services remain online for their customers, utilities need a way to track them with real-time visibility into their locations, response times, and job completion status. This is especially important considering how utility crews are tasked with emergency response and hazardous work, making accurate fleet tracking critical for safety and efficiency.
Track Your Truck understands the needs of small to mid-sized infrastructure service fleets. We offer an electric vehicle fleet monitoring solution that combines GPS tracking devices with our NetTrack fleet management software platform. With more than 25 years of experience serving utility companies, you can count on us to provide reliable tracking of your service vehicles without the complexity of enterprise systems designed for massive utilities.
Whether your organization manages line crews, maintenance technicians, inspectors, or service contractors, having real-time fleet visibility helps improve operational awareness throughout the workday. Dispatchers can instantly identify the closest available vehicle, supervisors can monitor job progress across multiple locations, and managers gain valuable historical reporting that supports continuous operational improvement. By bringing electric vehicle fleet monitoring, reporting, and dispatch tools together in a single platform, utility companies can improve customer service while making better use of their fleet resources.
Track Your Truck’s GPS technology is designed to enhance productivity for small to medium-sized electrical companies. Our easy-to-install devices are tested and activated before shipping, ensuring a smooth setup.
Here is how our solutions can benefit your operation:
Assign the nearest technician to each job with precise location data. Instead of relying on phone calls or manual updates, dispatchers can immediately identify which vehicle is closest to a customer or outage location. This helps reduce travel time, improve technician productivity, and increase the number of service calls completed each day. Faster dispatching also improves customer satisfaction by reducing response times during both scheduled maintenance and emergency situations.
Protect Valuable Assets with digital alerts that help prevent theft. Utility vehicles often carry expensive equipment, specialized tools, generators, and replacement parts. GPS alerts can notify managers if vehicles are moved outside scheduled hours or leave designated operating areas. Faster notification improves the likelihood of recovering vehicles while reducing downtime associated with theft or unauthorized use.
Avoid delays by staying informed about traffic conditions and alternative routes. Real-time traffic information helps crews avoid construction zones, accidents, and road closures that could delay service. Historical route data also enables managers to identify recurring bottlenecks and adjust service territories for greater efficiency over time. Better routing reduces unnecessary mileage, lowers fuel consumption, and maximizes productive work hours.
Set up custom alerts that notify you when employees drive too quickly and assess when idle times are above average rates. Driver safety is especially important for crews operating bucket trucks, digger derricks, and other heavy utility vehicles. Monitoring speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and excessive idling helps identify coaching opportunities before risky driving results in accidents. Safer driving habits can also reduce vehicle wear and operating costs.
Monitor vehicle usage and schedule maintenance based on actual mileage. Accurate mileage records help maintenance teams schedule oil changes, inspections, tire replacements, and other preventive services based on actual vehicle usage instead of estimates. Keeping vehicles properly maintained reduces unexpected breakdowns and extends fleet life while ensuring trucks remain available when emergencies arise.
Assess project durations by tracking the time spent at various job sites. Automatic arrival and departure records eliminate much of the guesswork associated with documenting field work. Managers can review time spent at each location, improve labor planning, and better understand how long different service activities typically require. This information also supports internal reporting and operational analysis.
Benefit from frequent GPS updates for accurate fleet oversight. Frequent vehicle location updates provide a more complete picture of daily fleet activity. Managers can quickly verify vehicle locations, monitor route progress, and respond to changing priorities throughout the day. Real-time visibility gives decision-makers confidence that resources are being deployed effectively.
