VTS technology has enabled companies to know;

Where their trucks are at all times;
To communicate with drivers;
The status of the engine, power train, or trailer temperature.
In addition to the vehicle location information, sensors can also provide characteristics of the driver's performance such as driving too fast, too slow, making too many stops, or not stopping enough.

In doing so, this tracking information can help companies improve customer response time, navigational assistance, assist in the recovery of stolen vehicles, reduce vehicle miles traveled, decrease fleet maintenance costs, preplanning of maintenance schedules and improve safety.
