Efficient truck fleet management through intelligent GPS solutions
Truck tracking & telematics system for maximum safety and efficiency
With routecontrol GPS for trucks, companies benefit from full transparency and security. Our telematics systems record vehicle locations in real time, monitor ignition and start times, and effectively reduce theft risks. Geofencing allows you to define virtual operating zones and receive instant alerts when violations occur.
In addition to safety, GPS trackers improve driving behavior, reduce fuel costs, and optimize route planning. Integration of an electronic logbook automates the documentation of driving and rest times as well as private and business trips – fully GDPR-compliant and audit-proof.
routecontrol also supports maintenance planning through real-time monitoring of operating hours and mileage. This minimizes downtime, extends the lifespan of the truck fleet, and enables predictive maintenance.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is GPS tracking useful for trucks?
GPS tracking allows you to monitor your truck fleet in real time. This gives you constant visibility of vehicle locations, route progress, breaks, and delivery status. It increases efficiency, improves dispatching, and enhances safety for vehicles and drivers.
What technology is behind truck tracking?
The routecontrol system consists of a GPS module installed in the vehicle and a telematics platform. The GPS data is transmitted to a server at short intervals via mobile networks. There, it is processed and visualized through the software for fleet managers or dispatchers.
Is GPS tracking of trucks legally permitted?
Yes, as long as it complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Companies must ensure that tracking is carried out only for business purposes, that employees are informed, and that the data is used for a specific purpose. For company vehicles, GPS tracking is generally allowed provided these requirements are met.
What benefits does GPS tracking offer for logistics companies?
Logistics companies benefit from more efficient route planning, faster response times in case of delays, and automated trip documentation. GPS tracking improves time management, reduces idle time, and helps operate fleets more economically – especially for large or Europe-wide fleets.
Can GPS also be used to analyze truck drivers’ driving behavior?
Yes. The routecontrol system provides not only location data but also information on speed, braking behavior, idle times, and sudden driving maneuvers. This data helps identify training needs, reduce wear and tear, and improve road safety.
Is GPS tracking helpful in case of theft?
Yes, very much so. If a truck is stolen, its last known location can be tracked in real time and immediately shared with the police. routecontrol also offers alert functions such as geofencing and movement notifications outside defined time windows.
Can multiple trucks be monitored at the same time?
Yes. With routecontrol, you can manage any number of trucks simultaneously. The interface displays all vehicles in real time, and routes can be planned, compared, and adjusted live if needed.
