Driver visibility & communication, simplified.

SMSLocate turns a plain text message into live GPS tracking, ETAs, arrival verification, and instant proof of delivery — so your team stops chasing check calls and can update customers in one tap. No app for drivers to download.

Works over SMS & WhatsApp — nothing to install for your drivers
Everything in one place

Real-time visibility without the phone tag

Dispatch, track, verify, and close out every load from a single board — while your drivers just reply to a text.

Live tracking

One-tap live location on any phone

Send the driver a tracking link by SMS. One tap shares continuous GPS — no app, no login, no training. Watch every truck move on a live map.

  • Continuous GPS from the driver's browser — with a clickable breadcrumb trail of every past ping
  • Live ETA & miles-out — to the shipper before pickup, the receiver once loaded
  • Share a read-only "watch" link with your customer
  • Automatic geofence arrival at pickup & delivery

Two-way messaging

Text drivers from a real dispatch inbox

Every driver conversation in one threaded inbox — each labeled by carrier, load # and lane — with quick-reply templates, automatic translation, and one-tap customer updates. Unread threads float to the top.

  • SMS & WhatsApp from your own number
  • Auto-translate that switches on the moment a driver picks their language
  • Conversations labeled by carrier · load # · lane
  • One-tap "copy status" to paste a live update into a customer email

Proof of delivery

Arrival selfies & automatic POD capture

Verify the driver is really on-site with an arrival selfie before releasing pickup numbers, then collect the signed BOL as a photo the moment they unload — filed to the right load automatically.

  • Arrival-selfie verification gates the load release
  • POD photos auto-attached & archived to Google Drive
  • At-risk alerts when a load is running late

How it works

Up and running in minutes

No hardware, no carrier integration project, no driver onboarding.

Add the load & driver

Enter a load or import your board by CSV. A phone number is all you need — the driver record is created on the fly.

Driver gets a text

SMSLocate texts a tracking link. The driver taps once to share location and can reply with photos and updates.

You watch it close out

Live map, arrival alerts, verified pickup, and automatic POD — all on your board, and shareable with your customer.

All in the box

A lot more comes built in

Everything a modern brokerage needs to run tracking and driver comms — without stitching together five tools.

☎️

Use your own phone number

No rented, generic number your drivers won't recognize. Connect your own RingCentral, Dialpad, GoTo or Zoom line in one click — no API keys — and text from the number they already know.

🔒

Your data stays yours

Proof-of-delivery documents are archived straight into your own Google Drive. Your paperwork lives in your account, under your control — never locked inside someone else's vendor.

🌐

Multilingual chat

Translation switches on automatically for any non-English driver — you flip it on, or they pick their language from the tracking link. Their replies arrive in English; your messages go out in Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi, Russian and more.

🤖

Autopilot check-ins

Automated location, ETA and POD requests fire on the schedule you set, with quiet hours respected — so your team stops making manual check calls.

Two-way reviews

Rate every driver at the end of a load, and drivers rate you back. Reliability ratings ride along on each driver's profile so you know who to book again.

🤝

Carrier & broker network

Save the partners you work with and post lane or truck offers that land in their SMSLocate inbox instantly when their account is linked.

🔔

Team notifications

Push load events — dispatched, delivered, at-risk — to Slack, Google Chat or Microsoft Teams so the whole team stays in the loop automatically.

💬

WhatsApp fallback

If an SMS can't reach a driver, SMSLocate automatically retries the same message over WhatsApp — so your requests still land.

📋

Smart load board

Active and Archived views, sorted by pickup date. Select any set of loads to change status or archive them in bulk — so the board stays focused on the freight you're actually tracking.

📤

Customer-ready updates

One tap copies a load's live status — location, distance, ETA and appointment — formatted to paste straight into an email to your customer.

📥

CSV & TMS import

Bulk-import loads from a spreadsheet or straight from your TMS — de-duped automatically, with LTL and empty moves filed to Archived so you only track what you can trace. Jump from any load back into your TMS in one click.
