Fleet truck tracking systems
Keep control of your trucks with GPS truck tracking built for commercial heavy goods operations.
The risks of running trucks without tracking
Trucks face stricter rules than other commercial vehicles, including driver hours regulations, operator licence requirements, compliance checks.
Breaking them risks fines or losing your licence, and vehicle tracking gives you the records to show you're staying on the right side of them.
Cannot prove drivers' behavior
Without truck tracking, you can't prove drivers stayed within legal limits or took their rest breaks, which leaves you exposed if your records are ever questioned.
No proof of location
When a truck is stolen with a full load, you have no location to give the police, and both the vehicle and the goods could be gone for good.
Damaging loads and costs
Harsh braking and sharp cornering can damage loads, leading to rejected deliveries, insurance claims and unhappy customers.
No accuracy in delivery times
Customers want to know when their delivery will arrive, but without live location or geofencing alerts, you're left passing on rough estimates.
Excessive idling burning fuel
Trucks left idling burn fuel for nothing, and without fuel management data, it's hard to see which vehicles or drivers waste the most.

Benefits for
truck fleet operators
Avoid operator licence penalties
Automated driver hours monitoring helps you stay within legal limits without constant manual checking. You can avoid fines that reach thousands of pounds and protect your operator’s licence from suspension or revocation, which could shut down your entire business.
Price jobs accurately
Understanding the true cost of each delivery, including fuel spend, time on the road, and delays at customer sites, means you stop under-pricing jobs that lose you money. You can identify which customers or routes deserve rate increases and negotiate better terms.
Prove compliance during inspections
When traffic commissioners or regulators ask for driver records, you can pull up timestamped evidence straight away instead of searching through paperwork. Digital vehicle checks give you a clear record of every walkaround inspection too.
Protect cargo from damage
When you reduce harsh braking and improve driving standards, you get less damaged cargo and fewer insurance claims. Connected dash cams show what happened behind each alert, so you can coach drivers and protect your reputation with clients who trust you with high value loads.
Cut truck insurance costs
When you can show insurers tracking data and improving driver behaviour, you're in a stronger position at renewal. It's worth reviewing your fleet insurance options with that evidence in hand.
Recover stolen assets quickly
When high value trucks and loads are stolen, police need an exact location fast, and live truck tracking gives them one. Our guide on how vehicle tracking protects against theft covers what else you can do to reduce the risk.
