GPS tracking for freight trucks
Every truck on the map with its last report, engine state and what it reads from the CAN bus. Below is the platform as a dispatcher sees it, in Spanish as our customers use it; plates and names are made up, everything else is real.

- Telcel, AT&T or Movistar, and signal (5/5)
- Engine
- on or off
- Satellites
- in use
- Report
- how long ago it arrived
- With CAN
- RPM
- engine
- Coolant
- temperature
- Tank
- fuel level in %
- Hours
- engine hours
- Consumption
- total liters and km/L
- AdBlue
- level in %
CAN readings come from trackers that read the tractor's CAN bus and depend on what the engine computer publishes.
Dead zones: the stretches no network reaches
Our devices measure signal on every stretch they drive. Where none of the carriers we work with has coverage, the stretch shows in red on the map through the dead-zone layer, next to geofences and georoutes in the map toolbar.
It is useful before dispatch, to know where a truck will stop reporting, and afterwards, to determine whether a truck that stopped reporting was on one of those stretches or on a covered road.
When the network a device is on drops, it moves to another of Telcel, AT&T and Movistar on its own. If none has signal, it stores positions and sends them once it is back in coverage.
The fleet in a list you can search by plate, alias or IMEI
The border color shows each truck's status and the icons show whether the camera is online or asleep. Selecting a truck centers it on the map and opens its card. Geofences are drawn as polygons or circles, and georoutes alert when a truck enters, leaves or strays from the route.
History: any truck's route, by date
Select a date and a truck. The platform splits trips and stops, replays the route at up to 10x and exports it to Excel.
Fuel: tank level, consumption and refuels
With trackers that read the tractor's CAN bus, the unit card shows tank level in %, total liters used and fuel economy in km/L.
With a level sensor in the tank, the platform logs every refuel and every fuel drop. A drop only counts while the truck is stopped, which is how siphoning looks in a yard or at a truck stop.
Tracking questions
Will it work with the tracker my trucks already have?
Most likely. Trackers and cameras from the brands that already report to GPS UNO go live without development work. If yours is another brand, send us the brand and model: we review its protocol and let you know what is needed to connect it.
Which cellular carriers do the devices use?
Telcel, AT&T and Movistar. If the network a truck is on drops, the device switches to another carrier with signal on its own. The unit card shows which network each truck is on and its signal strength.
What happens in a stretch with no coverage?
The tracker stores its positions and sends them once it is back in coverage, so the trip is complete in the history. Stretches where none of the three carriers has signal are marked on the map by the dead-zone layer, measured by our own devices.
Can trailers, containers or machinery be tracked?
Yes, any asset. Anything with its own power, such as tractors, machinery or cars, gets a device wired to it; anything without it, such as dry vans, containers or cargo, gets a device with its own battery. They all show on the same map, with geofences, alerts, history and tracking links.
Can previous days be reviewed?
Yes. Select the date and the unit to see trips and stops, replay the route at up to 10x and export the records to Excel.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes. Your account includes the Android and iOS app with the map, unit card, remote engine stop and notifications. The app is for customers only; access is provided when your fleet is set up.
