Each linehaul tractor is equipped with a Qualcom satellite tracking device. The satellite automatically records the position of each tractor every hour and then updates our main computer system accordingly, so anyone can see where there shipment is. The satellite describes the location in miles, closest to the nearest city. For example, 12.3 miles NW of Atlanta GA. The position of the tractor is accurate within 100 metres anywhere in North America.
