Every Machine, Truck, and Trailer

On One Live Map

Job sites move and equipment scatters. Geotab puts machines, trucks, and trailers on one live map.

  • Mixed fleet visibility across vehicles, equipment, and trailers
  • Theft and after-hours movement alerts for job sites
  • Utilization data that cuts rental spend

On the Job Site

Built for Dirt, Distance, and Deadlines

GO devices for trucks, GO Rugged for iron, GO Anywhere for trailers, one login for all of it.

Mixed-fleet view

Pickups, dumps, iron, and trailers side by side on one live map in MyGeotab.

Geofenced job sites

Draw a zone around any site and get alerts when equipment arrives, leaves, or moves after hours.

Engine hours, automatically

True hours off each machine, logged without clipboards.

Left-behind tool alerts

A Bluetooth-tagged tool left on site pings before the crew pulls out, so it does not vanish between jobs.

What Changes

Fewer Rentals, More Hours From the Iron You Own

Less rental spend

Utilization data shows what you own before you rent another one.

Less downtime

Machines come off the job for planned service, not a breakdown that idles a full crew.

Honest job costing

Real hours and locations back up every invoice.

Our Advice

What We Typically Install for a Construction Fleet

The standard build for a mixed construction fleet. Tell us what you own and we will tell you what goes on it.

01
Pickups, dumps, and crew trucks

A GO9 or Next-Gen GO plugs into the diagnostic port in minutes: location, behavior, faults, odometer. No installer, no appointment.

02
Yellow iron

GO Rugged, mounted externally, IP68/IP69K, reading true hours straight off the machine.

03
Trailers and attachments

GO Anywhere battery trackers on anything without an engine, three to five years per charge.

04
Small tools that ride in trucks

Bluetooth tags via the GO device. The truck scans its own inventory at ignition.

The Real Problems

The Three Calls Every Equipment Manager Hates

"The machine is gone."

After-hours movement fires an alert the moment it rolls, and GO Anywhere trackers cover what gets towed.

"Fuel spend is up and I can't say why."

Idle time by machine and site shows where fuel burns standing still, so you set idling rules where they pay off first.

"It broke down mid-pour."

Reactive repairs cost 2 to 5 times more than preventive (McKinsey, via Geotab, 2025). Engine hours drive service; faults surface before it quits.

What We Set up for Construction Fleets

Hardware gets the data flowing. This is the configuration work that turns it into fewer surprises, on the site and in the office.

Live From The Fleet

Utilization You Can Defend at the Morning Meeting

Every truck reports hours and progress on its own. This is what a dump fleet looks like in MyGeotab.

Questions

Construction Fleet FAQ

Which devices fit a construction fleet?

GO9 or Next-Gen GO for trucks and pickups, GO Rugged for heavy equipment and yellow iron, and GO Anywhere trackers for trailers and attachments, all in one platform.

Can I track equipment without power?

Yes. GO Anywhere battery trackers run for years on a sealed battery, so trailers, generators, and tools stay visible between jobs.

Does it help with job costing and utilization?

Engine hours, location, and idle time show how each asset is used, so you can right-size the fleet instead of renting another machine.

A machine got stolen. What actually happens?

The after-hours rule alerts whoever you name. Flip the tracker into High Frequency mode, share the live position with police, and recovery usually beats the insurance claim. We set those rules up on day one, not after the first theft.

Can I bill equipment hours to a specific job?

Yes. Draw a zone around each site and MyGeotab attributes engine hours and time-in-zone per machine per job. Invoices get backed by data instead of an operator's memory of last Tuesday.

Do the small-tool tags need their own data plan?

No. The Bluetooth tags talk to the GO device in the truck, which does the reporting. You pay for tags, not for another line of cellular service per drill.
