2. Are devices battery operated – those kind of devices are extremely easy to install which saves you a lot of money and reduce trailer downtime. But they have one more amazing feature and that is that they are running even though trailer is not connected to the truck and doesn’t have a power connection.
Some of the best ones you on find on the market have a battery installed that ensures 7 years life time at the base of sending location once per day. Of course this feature affects the price too but, do some calculations what you business needs and decide accordingly.

3. How often is trailer tracking device sending location – this is also extremely important because it can affect multiple features such us: battery durability, price, data plan required, data plan price and so on.
If the device is programmed to send the location once per day or once per week that is a huge difference. Some companies want devices to report on a hourly base.
