Track Every Tractor and Trailer

See every tractor and trailer on one map, catch cargo and maintenance issues early, and give customers accurate ETAs — without enterprise complexity.

If dispatch still starts with phone calls and spreadsheets, you are reacting to problems instead of preventing them. Trackers and sensors turn location, cargo condition, and vehicle health into alerts on your phone — before a missed trailer, spoiled load, or blowout becomes a crisis.

The challenge

  • Blind trailers — tractor GPS does not tell you where unhooked trailers are

  • Late discovery — temperature, tire, and door issues surface only at delivery or inspection

  • Theft and misuse — assets leave authorized areas with no automatic alert

  • Customer pressure — shippers expect live ETAs and proof of proper handling

Who this is for

  • Regional carriers and LTL operators managing tractors and trailers across multiple yards

  • Rental and lease fleets that need geofence alerts when units leave territory

  • Owner-operators starting with one tractor and growing into multi-asset visibility

  • Dispatch and safety leads who need one map instead of five driver text threads

What you gain

  • Real-time location — know where every trailer and tractor is without phone calls

  • Cargo protection — temperature and door sensors catch problems before spoilage

  • Theft deterrence — movement and geofence alerts when assets leave authorized areas

  • Maintenance insight — tire pressure and braking data help prevent costly breakdowns

  • Customer confidence — share accurate ETAs and proof of proper handling

Real-world use cases

  • Trailer pool management — see which yard holds which trailer before assigning the next load

  • Geofence alerts — get notified when a rented RV or contractor trailer leaves its approved area

  • Tire and brake monitoring — catch under-inflation or harsh braking before a roadside failure

  • Claims and coaching — pair GPS history with dashcam video when incidents happen
