What Is GPS Fleet Tracking?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

GPS fleet tracking uses satellite technology to follow vehicles across any terrain or in any location. Along with a tracking device, the interface is web-based and a SIM card is installed in the actual unit for storing information. Now, you can identify the exact location of your equipment at any time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

GPS Tracking Benefits<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The primary reason fleet managers choose GPS tracking is for cargo security. According to the Commercial Carrier Journal, cargo theft increased by 8 percent from 2017 to 2018. Yet, even more staggering, the total value of stolen freight increased by 28 percent in the same 12-month period.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

To protect against theft, GPS tracking gives you the ability to track your truck at all times. Trailers equipped with a GPS fleet tracking device are easily recoverable compared to unprotected and untraceable trailers loaded with high-priced freight. Other GPS tracking benefits include providing customers with real-time location information. This increases customers\u2019 confidence and satisfaction in monitoring their cargo at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
