Is a GPS tracker very important when choosing your shipping partner?

[Mr. McTuggart]

I think most of the shipping companies have a GPS fleet tracking software to track it's current location. Do you feel safe to ship your heavy equipment with your shipping partner who does not have a GPS fleet tracker?

Yeah, I’d say it’s pretty important, . even brands like Ritchie Bros. emphasize real-time tracking for better shipping transparency.

You are right. GPS is important in order for us to keep updated without calling the Customer Support.

totally agree! having gps tracking gives peace of mind, especially when shipping big gear through companies like Ritchie Bros.

GPS tracking isn’t just a “nice to have” anymore, especially for heavy equipment. It adds transparency, real-time visibility, and accountability on both sides. Without it, you’re relying purely on trust and updates after the fact, which increases risk if delays or issues happen. For high-value or heavy shipments, I’d definitely feel safer working with a partner that offers GPS fleet tracking.
