GPS Fleet Tracking for Towing and Roadside Assistance

Korvatrack shows every tow truck and service vehicle on a live map so dispatchers can send the closest driver and document each call from pickup to drop-off.

GPS fleet tracking for Towing and Roadside Assistance

Towing and roadside work is dispatch-driven. A motorist stranded on a shoulder wants help immediately, and the company that responds first earns the call and the repeat business. Korvatrack puts every tow truck and service vehicle on a live map, so dispatchers can see the closest operator, give an accurate arrival estimate and avoid unnecessary deadhead miles. Customers notice the difference when a truck arrives sooner than they expected.

These fleets also face documentation challenges, from disputed response times to questions about where a vehicle was towed. Trip history records each truck's path, stops and durations. Hard-wired trackers suit tow trucks and heavy-duty wreckers, while plug-in trackers cover light service vehicles. Battery-powered trackers can follow trailers and equipment that move between locations. Everything is accessible from the dispatch office or from mobile apps in the cab.

The challenges we hear from Towing and Roadside Assistance operators

  • Slow response to stranded drivers

    When a call comes in, every minute counts. Dispatchers who rely on phone calls to find drivers send trucks that are farther away than necessary, and lose work to faster competitors.

  • Disputes about time and location

    Customers, motor clubs and property owners sometimes dispute response times or where a vehicle was picked up and dropped. Without records, the towing company has limited ability to respond.

  • Unauthorized side jobs

    Drivers may use company trucks for personal work or unauthorized tows. These activities are costly, create liability and are tough to detect when the dispatcher cannot see vehicle activity.

  • Heavy wear and fuel use

    Tow trucks work hard, idle for long periods at scenes and accumulate engine hours quickly. Maintenance based on guesswork leads to breakdowns that take a revenue vehicle off the road.

How Korvatrack helps

  • Closest-truck dispatch view

    The live map shows every truck's position and status. Dispatchers choose the closest available operator, reduce response times and keep deadhead mileage low. Mobile apps let managers adjust assignments away from the desk.

  • Trip history for call records

    Trip playback records route, stops and duration for every tow truck. Operators use it to document arrival times and pick-up and drop-off locations when a customer or motor club raises a question.

  • After-hours and geofence alerts

    After-hours movement alerts and geofence entry and exit alerts reveal when trucks are used outside assigned calls. Managers can address unauthorized use quickly and keep a consistent policy. Alerts arrive by notification.

  • Engine-hour maintenance reminders

    Hard-wired trackers support maintenance reminders by mileage, engine hours or date. Idling reports show how long trucks sit at scenes, helping shops plan service before downtime hits revenue. Maintenance stays organized.

Frequently asked questions

Can Korvatrack track heavy-duty tow trucks?

Yes. Hard-wired trackers connect to vehicle power and work on tow trucks, wreckers and other heavy vehicles. They report location, ignition status and idling, and support maintenance reminders based on mileage or engine hours. Maintenance reminders can follow engine hours, which suits trucks that spend long periods idling at scenes.

How does tracking help with motor club and customer disputes?

Trip history records each truck's route, stops and times. When a customer or motor club questions an arrival time or a drop-off location, the dispatcher can pull the vehicle's history for that date and review it. Records stay available for later review.

Can a towing company track trailers and service vehicles as well?

Yes. Plug-in trackers cover light service vehicles and battery-powered trackers attach to trailers and other unpowered equipment. Every device reports to the same live map, giving dispatch a complete view of the operation. Alerts and reports apply across all of them, whether the asset is a truck, a trailer or a small service car.
