Fleet Visibility for Owner-Operators

Same-day tractor and trailer visibility for 1–20 truck fleets — affordable GPS and video that complements your ELD without enterprise contracts.

Small haulers and owner-operators need the same visibility large carriers have — but not the same price tag, contract length, or certified-ELD replacement pitch. You already have hours-of-service covered. What you need is knowing where assets are and what happened on the road.

The challenge

  • Enterprise minimums — many telematics vendors price out fleets under 50 trucks

  • ELD overlap — you do not need a second logbook; you need GPS and trailer visibility

  • Trailer blind spots — tractor ELDs do not track unhooked trailers in the yard

  • Unpredictable monthly costs — hidden fees and long contracts strain tight margins

Who this is for

  • Owner-operators running 1–3 tractors who want live maps without a fleet manager

  • Small regional carriers growing from a few trucks to a dozen without re-platforming

  • Mixed tractor-trailer operators who hook and drop trailers daily

  • Safety-minded owners adding optional dashcam video when insurance or customers ask

What you gain

  • Affordable entry — start with one tractor on PulseTrack, add devices as revenue grows

  • Trailer visibilityPulseSolar covers assets your tractor ELD cannot see

  • Optional videoPulseView when you want road evidence

  • Simple install — OBD and magnet mounts, not days in the shop

  • Room to grow — same PulseInsights platform when you add trailers, sensors, or cameras

Real-world use cases

  • First GPS on a single tractor — live map and history for dispatch and customer ETAs

  • Drop-and-hook operations — know which trailer is in which yard before the next assignment

  • Insurance or shipper requests — add outward dashcam video without replacing your ELD

  • Scaling up — add two trailers this quarter, five more next season, on one dashboard
