GPS Tracking for Dry Van Trailers

Dry van trailers are what most people think of when they imagine a semi or freight truck. Dry van trailers are the lifeblood of the supply chain and carry countless goods across the country.

If you manage a fleet of dry van trailers, or you’re a freelancer, you understand how many costs and risks you need to offset every day in order to ensure a consistent profit. Bad traffic, weather conditions, bad driving behavior, and poor route planning can cause missed or late deliveries and the loss of business.

There are also a million of other costs like:

• Maintenance and repair
• Fuel costs
• Driver pay
• Insurance
• The cost of the truck and trailer themself

While there’s no way to avoid these costs altogether, by implementing GPS tracking into your dry van trailers, you can significantly reduce costs while increasing profits. Here’s how…

Route Optimization

Optimizing routes—reducing the time on the road—reduces delays and maximizes your fleet’s operational efficiency. When any given truck can make more deliveries in a shorter period of time, it’s a huge win for you and your business.

GPS tracking can help you better plan routes to ensure drivers are always taking the quickest route and it can help you better manage your fleet as a whole. You can see which trailers are going where and how you can most efficiently plan your routes to increase efficiency as a whole. Plus, drivers can get updates from dispatchers about route changes due to weather or traffic conditions or changes to deliveries.

Reduce Maintenance and Repair Costs

GPS tracking can help you keep track of all of the maintenance checkups so nothing falls through the cracks. It’ll monitor miles driven and time until a checkup is due, sending you an alert when it’s time. This will prevent more costly repairs from happening down the road due to proper maintenance.

Improved Driver Behavior

With GPS tracking, you won’t be flying blind anymore when it comes to monitoring how your drivers are doing on the road. You can easily identify and therefore address any dangerous or fuel-wasting driving behaviors with GPS tracking.

 Increase Fuel Efficiency

Well-maintained vehicles, faster routes, and improved driver behavior all decrease fuel waste and can save your business loads of gas money. All of this is possible with the right GPS tracking devices.

 Theft Recovery

If someone steals your vehicle or your precious cargo, it can be difficult to recover. With GPS tracking you can monitor the location of your vehicles and fleets at all times, ensuring that you can recover your vehicles or goods quickly in the event of theft.
