1. GPS Insight Trailer Trackers

At GPS Insight, we provide more than just real-time fleet tracking. Our trailer tracking solutions will solve your unique challenges at a reasonable price. With our GPS tracking system, you never need to take a guess when it comes to your fleet.  

Beyond just a GPS trailer tracking device, our asset trackers ensure full visibility whenever and wherever you go. We have everything you need – whether it be a long-lasting asset tracker with real-time location data, or a solar-powered GPS tracker with a top IP score – whatever challenge you present, we have a solution. 

Long-lasting Battery Life

One of the biggest benefits of working with GPS Insight trailer trackers is working with our extra-long battery life. Our trackers have up to a 10-year battery life and are rechargeable. The low-lithium internal battery allows the device to ping up to 4X a day. Our battery-powered asset trackers give you the flexibility you need to get the job done without worrying about a power source.

Solar-Powered Capabilities

Thought all we had to talk about was a battery? Think again! GPS Insight also has solar tracking options, which carry several hours-worth of power thanks to fast charging solar panels. Our solar trackers with consistent charging can last up to seven years and can distribute an estimated 3500 event reports with full charge. With GPS Insight solar-powered trailer trackers, you can monitor and manage a variety of durable and perishable assets like never before.

Weatherproof

What’s the best part of the GPS Insight trailer trackers? Who’s to say – but we do know another great part about our trackers is their robust hardware. Our IP68/IP69K ratings showcase our trailers’ abilities to work in nearly all extreme weather conditions with near weatherproof durability. With GPS Insight high-rated trailer trackers, you can monitor the location of your trailer through freezing winters and temperatures over 100 degrees. 

Our real-time GPS trailer trackers let you focus on other aspects of the job. With an easy install process, high-level functionality, tamper-proof integration, and multiple movement alerts, you can easily send out your guys without fear of trailer theft or low cargo visibility with GPS Insight. 

2. Samsara Trailer Trackers

When a provider manufactures their own equipment, they lose a certain tailor-fit solution for their customers. While Samsara is indeed a top player in the telematics industry, they fall short on flexibility. With several contract minimums and contract-only packages, you’ll more than likely find yourself paying for features you don’t use, while using a tracker unable to check all your boxes. 

Samsara lists their Asset Gateway and Asset Gateway+ as top tracking devices for trailers. These devices are battery powered with a lithium-ion battery and provide real-time location data – much like GPS Insight trackers.  

However, some GPS Insight trackers are solar-powered, with batteries that last longer than a week on a full charge.

3. Verizon Connect Trailer Trackers

Much like GPS Insight, Verizon Connect works with multiple partners to provide their customers with GPS trailer trackers. Verizon Connect trailer trackers are reported to be weatherproof and can either be battery-powered or vehicle-powered via plugin. However, their trailers do report less frequently to conserve battery life. 

GPS Insight trailer trackers are durable, weatherproof, and either battery-powered, plug-ins, or solar powered. The best part? Their batteries are long lasting, and are capable of frequent GPS pinging, as many as 4 times a day. If something goes wrong, our 24/7 customer support lines are open with agents ready to assist with anything you might need. Unfortunately, Verizon Connect is known for below average customer service and technical support, according to multiple review sites and former customers.

Pricing

Let’s get into the average price points.  

Samsara prices can start with a monthly fee of up to $40 per month, on top of $30 per unit, depending on which package you go with. Verizon Connect offers packages starting from $23.50 per vehicle per month, all requiring a minimum 3-year contract. 

As for GPS Insight, our entry-level tracking package begins at just $14.95. Our packages are entirely adaptable to suit your specific requirements. Regardless of the size of your fleet, we guarantee comprehensive coverage at an affordable rate, never sacrificing quality.”
