During last month's downpour when a few towers went quiet, Detrack kept our trucks visible. I've got 60 trucks across the Southeast and nine years in dispatch - that steady GPS feed in low-signal spots is what made me stick with it. Proof capture stuttered once or twice, but if you want reliable live location when things go sideways, it delivers.
Four years managing a 25-truck fleet in the Midwest made me picky about onboarding. Getting the basic tracking live was pleasantly quick - drivers installed the app and I could see location pings within an hour. But the rest was fiddly: route imports required a very specific CSV layout, custom fields didn't map intuitively, and a few drivers couldn't finish login due to odd phone permissions, which meant a lot of back-and-forth with support late into the week. Support helped sort most issues, but many fixes felt like workarounds rather than a clean setup, so I'm torn about the long-term payoff. If you want fast live tracking out of the box, it delivers; just be ready to roll up your sleeves for anything beyond the basics.
Bottom line: Detrack's mobile app actually makes my route days less chaotic. The photo-first proof of delivery is the one feature that won me - snap a pic, get a signature, and the update goes out instantly so I don’t have to mess with paperwork at each stop. Been driving six years around the Midwest and this saves me a solid 10–15 minutes by the end of the day.
Bottom line: Detrack's monthly fee was worth it for us. I dispatch ten trucks in the Northeast and the live location feed cut customer check-in calls by about half, so the subscription paid for itself within weeks.
