Keeping Track of Your Tractor Trailers … It’s a Big Deal!

Over 65% of the transportation of goods in this country is done by trucking fleets.  There are two options for the fleet operator.  He can use a straight truck where the cab is connected to the freight space and it does not detach. Or, he can transport with tractor trailers where the freight space (trailer) can be detached from the cab. Research indicates that that there are twice as many trailers as there are tractors.  What does mean?  There are a whole lot of trailers out there where fleet managers need to keep tabs on location.   That creates a significant need for a GPS device that tracks and monitors the location of these trailers.  That trailer tracking solution can be found at Track What Matters.
It is common practice in the trucking industry for cargo transport companies to drop trailers at storage facilities, warehouse facilities, and customer locations.  Hence we have problem.   It is not at all unusual for fleet managers or transport companies to lose track of their trailers.  Losing track of a trailer, even for a few days, costs companies a significant amount of money – especially over the long-term.  That’s an asset that isn’t being utilized effectively.  What if it gets lost permanently?   A tractor trailer can cost you from $35,000 upwards to well over $100,000 depending on what options you need.   The GPS Asset Tracker is the answer.
The Asset Tracker, from Track What Matters, is available in both powered and non-powered options.  The battery operated version has a battery life of up to three (3) years – depending on how many locates that a fleet manager needs per day.   While keeping track of this valuable asset is a top priority, there are other great benefits of the Asset Tracker.  Other than theft recovery, geophone (radius) tracking alert features, and movement of the trailer (rest at stop status) multiple other configurations are available.  All that is needed to track a fleet of trailers is an internet connection and a desktop or smart phone.  It’s never been easier to keep track of your assets.
