FAQs

Frequently asked questions about load tracking software

What is load tracking software, and how does it work?

Load tracking software is a digital solution that allows shippers, brokers, carriers, and customers to monitor the location and status of shipments in real time. It typically connects to devices already installed in trucks, such as Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and telematics, to gather data. 

This software integrates with downloadable apps or existing systems like TMSs, to ensure accurate updates on a shipment’s progress. Automated tracking reduces manual check-ins, saving time and improving efficiency. Users can receive location updates, track shipment status, and even access proof of delivery through the software’s user-friendly interface.

How accurate is the location data provided by load tracking software?

Load tracking software delivers consistent location updates to keep you informed of each shipment’s journey. Most systems operate with scheduled “pings” to capture location data at set intervals, but many also allow users to request real-time updates when precise timing is critical. This flexibility ensures accurate tracking without the need for constant check-ins or guesswork.

With Solera’s load tracking solution, you can customize update frequency based on your needs, ensuring you receive timely and precise location data to support efficient and responsive operations across your entire fleet.
