Fleet management for HGV and logistics companies
Track HGV drivers across delivery routes, monitor freight in transit, and reduce fuel costs efficiently.
The challenge of running HGV operations
Logistics companies coordinate drivers across the country while managing tight delivery windows and rising costs. Without clear visibility, inefficiency becomes expensive.
Fuel costs eating profits
Rising petrol and diesel prices mean every wasted mile or idling engine directly cuts into your margins.
HGVs running empty on return journeys
Drivers coming back to the depot with empty trailers after deliveries instead of finding backloads.
Customers asking where their delivery is
Not knowing where drivers are makes it impossible to give accurate answers when customers call.
Drivers making extra stops
Personal detours and unauthorised stops add miles and fuel costs you pay for.
Disputes about delivery times
Customers claiming deliveries were late when you have no proof of actual arrival times.
Cannot plan driver schedules efficiently
Not knowing when drivers will finish routes makes it difficult to plan tomorrow's work.
Fleet management software for logistics businesses
Logistics and transport companies need to track HGVs in real time, reduce wasted miles, and prove delivery performance. RAM's solutions help you run haulage operations profitably.
GPS truck tracking for HGV fleets
Track HGV drivers across delivery routes and monitor vehicle locations for accurate customer ETAs.
What you get:
- Idling reports showing where drivers leave engines running
- Fuel cost, mileage, and running cost reports per vehicle
- Route Replay comparing planned vs actual journeys
- Driver league tables for fuel efficiency and speeding incidents
Dash cams for HGV fleets
HGVs cover thousands of motorway miles and navigate tight loading bays daily. Dash cams protect drivers and your business.
How this helps:
- Defend drivers against insurance claims from motorists blaming HGVs for motorway incidents
- Reduce insurance premiums by demonstrating professional driver standards to insurers
- Investigate incidents quickly by reviewing what actually happened without driver statements
- Improve driver training using footage from motorway driving and reversing at tight depots
Job management for logistics companies
Handle delivery schedules, driver assignments, and proof of delivery with job management software for hauliers.
What you can do:
- Schedule deliveries with collection and drop-off addresses for each driver
- See which deliveries are complete and which are still in progress across your fleet
- Capture delivery photos and customer signatures for proof of delivery records
- Record arrival and departure times at each drop for accurate delivery documentation
Trailer tracking for logistics operations
Logistics trailers move between depots, customer sites, and distribution centres. Track trailers independently from tractor units.
How trailer tracking works:
- Find trailers across your depot network when you need them for urgent jobs
- Track trailers left at customer sites waiting for loading or unloading
- Monitor which distribution centre each trailer is parked at across your operation
- 120-day battery life keeps trackers working when trailers sit idle between collections
Benefits for logistics companies
Stop paying for wasted idling
Identify which drivers leave engines running unnecessarily at service stations and delivery points, cutting fuelwaste that directly hits your bottom line.

Common questions from logistics companies
Run idling reports to see which drivers leave engines running for extended periods. Share the data with drivers to show the fuel cost impact and set expectations.
Check the GPS timestamp showing when your vehicle arrived at the customer's address. This gives you the exact time with location proof.
Use financial reports to see fuel costs per vehicle and driver league tables to compare fuel efficiency across your team. This shows who's using the most diesel.
Yes. Route Replay shows every stop and the exact route taken. Compare this against delivery addresses to identify unauthorized stops.
Check the live map to see where the driver is right now. You can give the customer an accurate ETA based on current locations without calling the driver.
Start with idling reports to cut engine running waste, then use driver league tables to help you focus on the biggest fuel users first.
