HGV & truck tracking systems
Keep control of your trucks, lorries and HGVs with GPS truck tracking built for commercial heavy goods operations.
The risks of running trucks without tracking
HGVs face stricter rules than other commercial vehicles, including driver hours regulations, operator licence requirements, compliance checks. Break the rules and you risk fines or losing your licence.
Cannot prove drivers' behaviour
Without fleet tracking, you cannot prove drivers stayed within legal limits or took rest breaks.
No proof of location
When trucks get stolen with full loads, you have no way to help police.
Damaging loads and costs
Harsh braking damaging loads and increasing costs.
No accuracy in delivery times
Unable to provide accurate delivery times.
Excessive idling burning fuel
Excessive idling burning fuel on expensive trucks.
HGV tracking system features
Benefits for
HGV fleet operators
Avoid operator licence penalties
Automated driver hours monitoring helps you stay within legal limits without constant manual checking. You can avoid fines that reach thousands of pounds and protect your operator’s licence from suspension or revocation, which could shut down your entire business.
Price jobs accurately
Understanding the true cost of each delivery, including fuel spend, time on the road, and delays at customer sites, means you stop under-pricing jobs that lose you money. You can identify which customers or routes deserve rate increases and negotiate better terms.
Prove compliance during inspections
When traffic commissioners or regulators ask for driver records, you can pull up complete timestamped evidence instantly instead of scrambling through paperwork. This means no missing documentation and no risk of penalties for incomplete records.
Protect cargo from damage
When you reduce harsh braking and improve driving standards across your fleet, you get less damaged cargo and fewer insurance claims to deal with. This protects your reputation with high value freight clients who trust you with expensive loads.
Cut HGV insurance costs
When you demonstrate you're managing fleet risk properly with tracking data and improved driver behaviour, insurers see you as lower risk. This confidence from insurers translates into lower premiums, saving you thousands of pounds annually.
Recover stolen assets quickly
When high value trucks and loads get stolen, police need exact coordinates fast to have any chance of recovery. Live truck tracking helps them find your vehicles and cargo within hours rather than losing them forever.
