A time
Not just a last-known location from this morning.
The test is simple
Can the system say where a tractor was at the minute of a swipe, most of the time? If yes, we can audit. If the export is a daily breadcrumb with no times, more fills will stay unverifiable and I will tell you that before you pay for a month of noise.
I have built analysis on systems other logistics companies already run. I will not pretend every brand has the same fields. The first hour is learning your export.
Mixed fleets
Acquisitions leave two or three GPS brands in one company. I match each tractor to its device. I do not wait for a unification project that may never finish.
Safety video, if it exists in that system, is for the short list only. I do not ask for every camera, every day.
What I look for
What good enough GPS looks like
A tractor
A stable id that matches the unit your card is trying to name.
A gap policy
Missing pings stay missing. They do not become clean fills.
Short answers
Before you book.
No. If it can place the truck, we start there.
Then the audit says what cannot be checked. That is a finding, not a failure I hide.
Next step
Let's see if your GPS can carry the match.
Tell me the brand on the first call. If I have not seen it, we look at a sample export before anyone promises a result.
