GPS Tracking for Tow Trucks and Wreckers

Korvatrack hard-wired GPS trackers let towing companies dispatch the nearest truck, document pickups and protect recovery equipment with real-time location and alerts.

Why track tow trucks with GPS

Towing is a business of minutes. When a stranded driver calls, the dispatcher must know which truck is nearest, available and able to reach the scene. Korvatrack GPS trackers place every wrecker, rollback and heavy-duty recovery unit on a live map, so a dispatcher can assign the closest truck and give the caller a realistic arrival time. Every minute saved helps the customer.

Tow trucks also operate around the clock, in all conditions and often in places where documentation matters. Trip history and stop records show when a truck reached a scene, when it left and where the vehicle was delivered, supporting customer disputes and accounts with motor clubs and municipalities. Alerts for after-hours movement and geofence exits help protect trucks and the vehicles loaded on them.

The right tracker for tow trucks

Tow trucks work in rough conditions and need power-connected, concealed trackers that remain reliable through heavy equipment use and frequent shift changes.

What owners use it for

  • Nearest Truck Dispatch

    Dispatchers see live positions for the whole fleet, send the closest available truck to each call and shorten response times for stranded drivers. Faster assignments mean calmer callers.

  • Pickup and Drop Records

    Trip and stop history documents arrival at the scene and delivery to the yard or shop, giving towing companies a dependable record for customer or insurer questions.

  • Impound Yard Geofences

    Geofences around yards and storage lots log truck entries and exits, helping managers confirm that vehicles move through the process as intended. Owners also gain a record of how long vehicles stay on the premises.

  • Driver and Truck Accountability

    Speeding and after-hours alerts help owners see whether trucks are being used for assigned calls, particularly when drivers take vehicles home between shifts. Clear records also help during slow overnight shifts.

Alerts that matter for tow trucks

Choose the events you want to hear about and who should be told. Alerts arrive as push notifications in the mobile apps and by email, and each one is logged in the platform.

How alerts work
  • Geofence entry or exit
  • After-hours vehicle movement
  • Speeding above set limit
  • Ignition on or off
  • Harsh driving events

Frequently asked questions

How does GPS tracking improve tow dispatch?

Korvatrack shows each truck's live position and status on one map, so dispatchers can choose the nearest available unit for every call. Shorter dispatch decisions help cut response time and give customers a more accurate arrival estimate. Faster decisions benefit the stranded driver most.

Can I document where a towed vehicle was taken?

Yes. Trip history records the route, stops and times for the tow truck, including arrival at the scene and at the destination. Geofences around yards and shops make those entries and exits easy to find in reports when a customer asks questions.

Does Korvatrack track rollbacks and heavy wreckers?

Yes. Hard-wired trackers work on light-duty rollbacks and heavy-duty wreckers alike, since both have vehicle power available. Fleets can also add battery-powered trackers to towed trailers or equipment that lack their own power source. Both fit naturally into one live map and one set of alerts.
