The use of GPS tracking systems for truck tracking has come a long way from its humble beginnings some 17 years ago as a typical locator and has paved the way for organizations to improve efficiency, productivity and accountability.
One of the main functionality of GPS tracking systems for truck tracking is the use of triggers and alerts. Operators of the GPS tracking systems may set alerts that are then triggered by certain events and/or conditions.
A straight forward application is the Speed Limit Alert that may be set based on various locations, road type, and weather conditions and should these limits be exceeded, the system alerts the operators of this and can take the necessary action for driver and cargo safety.
Geographic boundaries may be electronically defined and again operators are alerted when triggered as drivers veer of course and go beyond the defined boundaries.
As a result, moonlighting and side jobs have been dramatically reduced as well as pilferage in terms of time and fuel consumed by these moonlighting jobs.
