Watch: Let’s talk trailer tracking

With the plethora of trailer tracking software now available, you may be wondering what this technology can do for your fleet. The answer is, to an extent: whatever you need it to. Depending on what you are looking for, trailer tracking can be limited to the location of your trailers or go as far as organizing your trailer maintenance schedule to reduce downtime. It all depends on what your fleet needs the software to do.

If you’re interested in this kind of technology, talk to a telematics provider, and tell them exactly what you’re looking for—whether that’s asset location, help combating trailer theft, or something else. The more specific you are about what you need, the faster you could see ROI on the solution.
