"Simple and Effective Load Tracking for Our Fleet"
What do you like best about Trucker Tools?

What I appreciate most about Trucker Tools is how straightforward it is to track loads and keep up-to-date with the driver’s location. The live GPS visibility really streamlines communication with brokers, since we always have a clear idea of where the truck is and what the estimated arrival time will be. The app is user-friendly for drivers, even for those who aren’t very tech-savvy. It significantly cuts down on check calls and saves dispatch a lot of time. I also value how quickly automatic tracking activates and how reliably it updates while the driver is on the road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trucker Tools?

At times, the app becomes slow or stops updating when the driver's signal is weak, leading to tracking gaps that brokers may question. Some drivers have also mentioned that notifications are not always delivered promptly. The interface on the dispatcher side would benefit from a more modern design and faster performance. Additionally, integrations with other platforms could be enhanced to ensure updates sync more reliably. While the app generally functions well, there are occasional issues with tracking accuracy that could be more consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Live Tracking with Fraud Detection, Needs Address Accuracy"
What do you like best about Trucker Tools?

I appreciate Trucker Tools for its functionality in tracking trucks live, providing essential visibility of transit times, and alerting us to any delays in deliveries, which is crucial for maintaining efficiency and planning. What stands out most to me is the capability of Trucker Tools to detect when a driver stops the tracking and when they use VOIP numbers, significantly aiding in the timely detection of potential fraud. This feature enhances the security and reliability of our operations. Moreover, the integration of Trucker Tools with TAI TMS facilitates smooth operations within our existing technology framework, providing a cohesive and efficient workflow. Overall, the ease of setup, which I would rate as 8 out of 10, contributes to a user-friendly experience that allows for relatively quick adoption within our team.

What do you dislike about Trucker Tools?

Sometimes the ping address is not accurate, and that can lead to confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Eliminate Check Calls"
What do you like best about Trucker Tools?

I love how easy it is for both the broker and the driver to complete check calls without having to use manpower. The driver simply checks in/out on their phone and the broker is immediately notified. No phone calls or wasted manpower! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trucker Tools?

Overall it's a solid platform, but it would be helpful to have a chat platform or option to send photos/text between the brokers and carriers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
