Over the last few years there has been a lot of competition in this arena which brought the prices down but in some cases that is paid on quality side because those devices have questionable durability. Cheaper is not always better – at least in this case.

So as said there is some things to have in mind so read this part really carefully because it can save you a lot of money, time, truck and trailer downtime:
1. Are device working on 3G or 2G network – one the best and high end manufacturers all the trailer tracking devices have devices operating on 3G network.
The entire telematics industry operates on 2G but there is a huge change to happen over the next 18 month 2G will be shut down causing all 2G device to become dead.
So when considering to buy trailer tracking device ask you service providers are devices 3G compatible. They use tricks to offer amazing prices promising national coverage and so on but you could face devices going dead if not 3G compatible.
