“We were able to pick and choose and really make it work for us and that matters. It matters when you’re trying to do not just your vehicles but your entire fleet – equipment included.

“I was able to make adjustments to my routes and retrain my team to be able to stop at places along the way instead of going 10 or 15 minutes out of their way. That allowed us to increase our margin from 35 percent up to 65 percent, and we were able to cut our labor cost by 1/3 which increased our gross profit by $125,000.”
“It is very cost-effective for us. Now, we don’t get questions when we present customers with their bill and travel time because we support it with the documentation that we can print from GPS Insight. It’s helping to bring our money back that we were losing, as well as be more efficient when we’re on the job.”
It’s easy to say “trailers can’t go anywhere by themselves, so why track them?” But stolen trailers are often in the news, like this story about a missing trailer that contained nearly 100,000 meals for homeless veterans. Trailer tracking would’ve been invaluable in resolving this situation.
As you can see, GPS trailer trackers can protect both the trailer and its contents. It allows you to check their locations, verify drops/pickups, and much more. And the solar-powered trailer trackers won’t even increase your carbon footprint or cost more money to power. In short, a trailer tracker addresses accountability, compliance, safety, and efficiency.
Trailer tracking devices use GPS and cat-m1* cell networks or satellite network providers*. 0This allows them to provide information including real-time and historic location and time spent at a customer for drop-offs and pickups. This data can ensure that drivers don’t make unauthorized stops or detours with trailers.
Also, trailer tracking devices must be externally powered (for powered or motorized trailers), or powered by a rechargeable battery* or solar cells (for non-powered or non-motorized trailers). The only other device needed to track your fleet’s trailers is a Web-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to access the trailer tracker software.
Depending on the refresh rate setting of the installed trailer tracking device, a manual ping will give you the approximate location of a trailer. Typically, refresh rates update at intervals of a few times per day, or even once daily. Some can also be motion based. This also depends on the type of device: Some are only available in one configuration, while you can set others up to suit your needs.
GPS trailer tracking can locate lost or stolen trailers as well as pinpoint the location of trailers incorrectly parked. A trailer tracker can even help identify illegal behavior that could result in lost trailers or vehicles, wrecks, and stolen goods.
