Why Towing Companies Need GPS Tracking


Why GPS Tracking for Towing Companies?
Every extra mile driven, wasted gallon of fuel, or side job eats into your bottom line. GPS tracking, PTO monitoring, and automated alerts give you the visibility you need to cut waste and grow your business. See where your trucks are, how their being driven, and when equipment is used so you can stop losing profit.
Faster Response = More Jobs
When someone needs a tow, every minute spent on that job represents time you can’t be doing another job. Instead of having to call all your drivers to figure out where they are, Momentum’s live GPS tracking shows you who’s closest in real time. That means:
- Faster dispatching
- Happier customers
- More jobs completed per shift
- More money in your pocket.
See every truck’s live location from your computer or phone. More visibility = more control = more profit.


Moonlighting is BAD for Your Business
Your trucks should be making money for you—not funding someone else’s side hustle. With GPS tracking:
- Get alerts if a vehicle moves after hours or stops outside of approved locations
- See exactly where every truck is at all times
- Catch unauthorized use before it costs you
Get Alerts When Power Take Off (PTO) is Activated
PTO (Power Take-Off) alerts tell you exactly when and where your drivers use the winch, boom, or lift. Need to prove a job was completed? Now you have the data. Want to know who’s using the truck without permission? With a system like Momentum, you can.


Stop Idling & Cut Fuel Costs
Tow trucks are not famous for their fuel efficiency and when they are idling unnecessarily they are literally burning up profit. How do you know when a truck is idling? Unless you have a system like Momentum, you don’t. Current customers have saved thousands of dollars a year on fuel with our idling reports. The reports show you who is racking up unnecessary fuel costs so you can put a stop to it.
Recover Stolen Trucks in Minutes
Tow trucks are valuable and when one gets stolen, every minute matters. The longer it takes to recover the higher the chances you will never see your equipment or parts again. With GPS tracking and real-time alerts, you can call the police and give them the exact location of the vehicle in real time.
Heck, if you have dash cams with your Momentum system, you can send police full-color HD video of the thieves riding in the truck. Several Momentum customers have located and recovered their stolen vehicles within minutes.
Improve Driver Safety
Reckless driving puts both your business and your employees at risk. Momentum includes real-time alerts and reports that track each driver’s risky habits such as speeding, hard braking, and aggressive acceleration. Using this information, you can put a stop to it before it leads to an accident.
Speaking of accidents, if you have added dash cams to your Momentum system you’ll get an alert when there is a possible collision and that footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud so you can respond quickly. Dash cams help businesses push back on false claims and even save on their insurance premiums.
