How Truck Tracking Works

We will install a GPS tracker in your vehicle which allows us to accurately pinpoint your vehicle. Our telematics device also feeds back vehicle data allowing you to make data-driven decisions. Our GPS tracker uses a SIM card which sends data via a mobile network for constant and instant updates.

With our truck tracking solution, you can set up geofences and receive alerts if a truck strays off course or enters a restricted or chargeable area. Crystal Ball’s FleetTracker also provides driver behaviour monitoring and analysis, enabling you to improve safety, reduce wear and tear on your lorries, and optimise fuel consumption. Whether you operate a large fleet of trucks or just a few, our tracking solution is fully configurable to meet your business needs. Our easy-to-use dashboard allows you to track and manage your lorries from anywhere, giving you complete visibility and control over your fleet’s movements and performance.

Benefits of Truck Tracking

Whether your company uses trucks, lorries, or HGVs, GPS fleet tracking offers a range of benefits that can help lead to an overall better service and customer and employee experience.

What our clients say

Brian Wright

CEO, Primo Drinks

The driving data and imagery recorded by Crystal Ball is precise and verifiable. One incident alone has paid for fitting the tracking and camera system to the entire fleet.

Terry Naisbitt

Fleet Manager, Durham City Transport

We've been with Crystal Ball for over 8 years now, great company to work with and the staff are always available to help with anything we need. We have just renewed our contract and again are very happy with the service, I would highly recommend them.

Andy Pears

Welding Manager, Weld-A-Rail

We recently had two vehicles stolen within three days of each other. Using Crystal Ball, I was able to immediately locate the vehicles, which were parked two miles from where they were stolen. I was then able to phone the police and get the vehicles recovered and repaired.
