GPS tracking for TLC fleets: what a tracker actually tells you

Tracker and enforcement
GPS tracking and payment enforcement for TLC fleets
FleetAi's own tracker, with its own SIM, or Tesla's built-in data. Every car on the map, every trip on file, and a starter that stays off while rent stays unpaid.
2,404
crossings verified against the car's own GPS
Counted from the fleets on FleetAi, refreshed hourly.
How the tracker earns its keep
Step 1
The tracker goes in
Supplied by FleetAi with its own SIM, installed in the car, reporting on its own. Teslas need nothing; their built-in data does the same job.
Step 2
Trips write themselves
Where each trip started, where it stopped, how far, how fast. Harsh braking, acceleration, and idle time per driver. History follows the person, clamped to their time on the car.
Step 3
Enforcement, when you set it
A threshold and a grace period per driver. Past both, the starter is disabled the next time the car is parked and re-enabled the moment the balance clears. Every command is logged.

Never cuts a moving car.
- A speed gate refuses the command while the car moves; the starter is disabled only once it is parked.
- Trips stay on file for the tolls and tickets that arrive weeks later.
- Manual or automatic, every command is in the log with who sent it and when.
Questions about the tracker
- Does it ever cut a moving car?
- Never. A speed gate refuses the command until the car has stopped.
- Who supplies the hardware?
- FleetAi. The tracker comes with its own SIM, so there is nothing to activate on your side.
- Do Teslas need a tracker?
- No. Tesla's built-in data gives FleetAi the location, the trips, and the controls.
- Is the trip history kept?
- Yes. Trips stay on file so the tolls and tickets that post weeks later still have their proof.
