Customer Reviews

We have a small, family-run plumbing business just outside Sacramento, and keeping track of our trucks and team schedules was a challenge. After a couple of guys were running late to jobs, I decided to figure out what the hell was going on. I ordered 3 OBD2 GPS trackers and BOOM - now I can see exactly where our trucks are all day. And make sure we’re showing up to jobs on time. If you’re a small business, I think its a must-have.

Sacramento Plumbing

Our builders had some unsavory characters near the job sites of our luxury homes that were under development. We invested in some wireless real time GPS trackers for this construction equipment just in case. Why? Because the last thing we want or need are delays caused by theft given the high expectations of our clients. So far, so good!

Scottsdale Luxury Homes

These mini GPS trackers saved my business. I had some expensive merchandise stolen, and the police couldn’t get access to the compound where it was hidden. But thanks to the trackers, I was able to pinpoint the exact location. Not only did I get my stuff back, but the police ended up finding stolen trailers, tools, and copper belonging to other people, too. If you’re serious about protecting your assets, you need these GPS trackers—100% worth it!

GPS Tracking Device Works

I run an RV rental business and put these GPS trackers in every single rental. I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable renting out my vehicles without them. They come with a bunch of accessories, so I can use them in different ways depending on the rental. I’ve got 8 units right now, and I love everything about them—even the flexible plans and pricing options. They really thought of everything. I’m a customer for life—thank you!

RV Rentals

We have a sailing school and sailboat rental business, and this GPS tracker has been a game-changer. Before, I’d always wonder where the boats were if they didn’t show up at the slip on time. Now, I can just check the app on my phone and see exactly where they are. I even set up a geofence at the marina entrance so I get a text when a boat leaves or comes back, which helps me meet them at the dock. The battery lasts a couple of days, so I keep it charged up just in case. I’ll probably grab another one for the busy season.

GPS Fleet Tracking FAQ’s

What Is Fleet Tracking and How Can It Help My Business?

GPS fleet tracking with lets you see where your vehicles are in real time. But it’s more than just watching your trucks move on a map. GPS fleet management helps you oversee driver safety, keep up with vehicle maintenance, cut down on fuel costs, and stay compliant with regulations—all of which make a big difference to your business.

Take a plumbing company with multiple trucks on the road, for example. GPS fleet tracking lets you see where each truck is, so you can send the nearest driver to an urgent job. This cuts response times and boosts efficiency. You can also keep an eye on how your drivers are handling the vehicles. If someone is speeding or braking too hard, you’ll know and can address it, improving safety and reducing the chance of accidents.

You’ll also get updates when a truck needs maintenance, helping you avoid costly breakdowns by fixing issues before they get worse. Plus, with route optimization, you’ll use less fuel, which means saving more money in the long run.

In short, GPS fleet tracking gives you the visibility and control you need to manage your fleet smoothly, keep your drivers safe, and save on costs—whether you have a handful of vehicles or a whole fleet.

What Is Telematics?

Telematics uses GPS and on-board diagnostics to help you track your vehicles in real time. You can easily see where your fleet is, keep an eye on fuel use, monitor vehicle health, and fine-tune your routes.

For your business, telematics helps cut costs and make day-to-day operations smoother. You’ll use less fuel, stay on top of maintenance, and boost driver safety by catching things like speeding or harsh braking. Plus, staying compliant is easier with automatic tracking of hours and emissions.

No matter your tracking needs, we’ve got the hardware to keep your fleet and assets protected.

How Do GPS Trackers Work?

GPS trackers connect to satellites in space, using a process called trilateration to pinpoint a vehicle’s location. By measuring its distance from at least three satellites, the tracker provides real-time details like latitude, longitude, and elevation.

In fleet management, GPS trackers typically get their power from the vehicle’s OBD-II port, via hardwire connection to a car, or their own internal battery. Once connected, they collect data on location, speed, and routes. This information is sent to your fleet management software, allowing you to:

Monitor Routes in Real Time: Know exactly where your vehicles are and make adjustments to dispatching or rerouting on the fly.
Optimize Operations: With up-to-the-minute data, plan efficient routes and avoid unnecessary delays or detours.
Improve Driver Behavior: Identify risky habits like speeding or excessive idling and take steps to ensure safer driving.

GPS trackers do more than just put dots on a map. They provide live insights into your fleet, making it easier to manage operations, keep drivers accountable, and enhance safety. By understanding how GPS technology works, you’ll be able to make smarter decisions that improve your fleet’s performance.

How Far Can You Track A GPS Device?

Our real-time GPS trackers come with global SIM cards, allowing them to work in over 155 countries. As long as the tracker can connect to at least four satellites, it will accurately determine location, speed, and direction. This global coverage means fleet GPS trackers are reliable almost anywhere, from rural areas to busy cities. Yes, we got you covered!

However, the range of a GPS tracking device isn’t about how far it is from Earth. It’s about how well it can receive signals. That means you should be aware of a few things that might affect performance include:

Obstructions: Buildings, trees, tunnels, and mountains can block or weaken signals.
Atmospheric Conditions: Severe weather might slightly impact GPS accuracy.
Indoor Use: GPS signals don’t penetrate well through buildings or underground, which limits tracking in those areas.

In most outdoor settings, GPS trackers perform reliably, giving you global functionality and real-time updates wherever there’s a clear signal.

Will I Be Checking GPS Reports At My Desk All Day?

Only if you want to! With our software, you won’t be stuck at your desk. We offer mobile apps and alerts that go straight to your phone, so you can easily monitor your fleet while on the go. Whether you need to check real-time performance, track vehicle locations, or respond to any alerts, you’ll have all the key info at your fingertips, no matter where your day takes you. Oh, and you always have access to historical data if you ever want to see where a specific driver was last week, last month or last year!

How Much Does Fleet GPS Tracking Cost?

The cost of GPS fleet tracking varies depending on what your business needs, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Several factors come into play when determining what you’ll pay:

First, think about the type of system. If you’re after something basic, it’ll be more affordable. However, if you want advanced features like AI dash cams or real-time tracking, expect a higher price tag.

Another key factor is your fleet size. Naturally, more vehicles mean higher costs. But here’s the good news—many providers offer discounts when you outfit multiple vehicles, so bulk pricing might save you some cash.

Then, there’s the monitoring software. Basic software is typically cheaper, but if you’re after detailed reports or analytics, you’ll likely pay more.

You’ll also need to decide whether to buy or rent. Some businesses prefer to rent GPS systems, but in the long run, purchasing might be the better deal for your budget.

As for data plans, these range from $9.95 to $49.95 a month, depending on how often the tracker updates or if you’re using features like live video feeds. For hardware, basic real time GPS trackers start at $79, while more advanced options, like dash cams with real-time GPS tracking, can go up to $399.

When choosing a telematics solution, think about the future of your company. Will your GPS tracker grow with your business? Factors like fleet size, real-time update needs, and whether you want a plug-and-play system or a hardwired one will all affect your final cost.

Can A Company Track Your Vehicle Without Telling You?

In most cases, it's illegal for a company to track your personal vehicle without your consent. However, there are exceptions for company-owned or leased vehicles. If the vehicle belongs to the company, they can use GPS tracking to monitor it, especially when it's being used for business purposes. In these situations, employers should have clear policies in place, and employees should be informed about the GPS system.

It’s also important to know that tracking laws vary depending on where you are. Some states have stricter rules, requiring employees to give explicit consent. To stay protected and ensure everything is transparent, make sure you understand your company’s vehicle tracking policy.

How Will My Drivers Feel About Being Tracked?

Drivers might feel a bit unsure about GPS tracking at first, which is totally normal. But once they see that it’s not just about monitoring them, but actually making their day easier, many come around. GPS tracking cuts down on the number of check-ins and status updates they have to deal with, letting them focus more on their job. It also helps protect them from any unfair claims, like being accused of delays when they’re on time.

The key is transparency—letting your drivers know the real benefits. When they understand that the system is there to help improve efficiency and safety, they’re less likely to resist. Plus, according to the FMCSA, GPS tracking can reduce accidents by encouraging safer driving habits, which benefits both your drivers and your business.

At Fleet1st, we also understand the importance of privacy. That’s why we’ve built in strong data protections. We only collect the data necessary to keep operations running smoothly, and we make sure your drivers' personal information is secure. By keeping things transparent and protecting their privacy, you can introduce tracking without breaking trust.
