GPS fleet tracking software has become one of the most important tools for businesses that have mobile workforces and assets. Of course the technology reaches further than just commercial usage, but for this blog, we will stick to just that.
We get a lot of phone calls and inquiries from companies asking what commercial GPS fleet tracking software can actually track. So here is what can be tracked by GPS:
GPS Fleet Tracking for Vehicles
GPS fleet tracking software can track any vehicle class 1-8. Good examples of commercial vehicles normally tracked by GPS include:
- Light/Heavy Duty Trucks
- Cargo Vans/Box Trucks
- Freight/Semi Trucks
- Utility/Bucket Trucks
GPS Fleet Tracking for Assets
GPS fleet tracking software can monitor assets on a cellular network or via satellite depending on coverage. These assets can be moving/non-moving or powered/non-powered. The term “asset” is very broad, but is used to describe:
- Equipment: generators, ATV’s, wenches, illuminated road signs, etc.
- Yellow Iron: tractors, bull dozers, bottom loaders, etc.
- Freight/Cargo: shipping containers, roll-off containers, freight by the pallet, etc.
- Trailers: flatbeds, semi-trailers, etc.
Other
Here are some less obvious and more creative assets to track:
- Port-o-potties
- Cable spools
- Industrial tool boxes
Commercial GPS Tracking Software is not typically meant to track:
- People (parents and children)
- Pets
- Airplanes
- Boats
