Any fleet management system is imperfect without a proper trailer tracking system. Before getting a tracking system for your fleet it is important to research the market and choose the one that best suits your requirements and goals. For a successful implementation of a trailer tracking system:

An effective fleet management system is based on the principal of IoT (Internet of things). Electronic Logging devices, generally known as ELD, like Matrack’s MA 3000 are equipped with inbuilt software and sensors are connected to the vehicle or assets through on-board diagnostics. It gather various data like speed, engine status, driving hours, maintenance requirements, and location.

The data is sent to an analytical program that utilizes this information and generates reports for mileage, fuel consumption, safety and others. MA 3000 also helps in compliance of DOT’s hours of services rules, and as it incorporates Bluetooth technology, managers and fleet owners can be in constant contact with their vehicles.

The market for trailer tracking is vast and provides a variety of features. Therefore, you must know your exact reason – safety of goods, maintaining temperature for perishables, safety of the trailer from theft and hijacking, etc. It is always advisable to choose for a trailer tracking system that can be integrated with existing software to avoid extra cost.

As you get ready to implement the new trailer tracking system, start training your employees simultaneously. Plan an on boarding strategy, and educate the employees and drivers about using the software. This will allow you give feedback to your trailer tracking service provider, and make the software user-friendly. It is important to let the employees and drivers understand and adapt the new system, so give them the time they need.

Trailer tracking system, when integrated with other fleet management system, will give you an insight in driver’s behavior.
