How to Use Trucker Tools Tracking

This integration with Trucker Tools allows a user of EZ Loader TMS to send a tracking request to a driver. The driver will receive a notification via SMS notifying them that they have been assigned to a load. That tracking request SMS message will contain a link to open the Trucker Tools application. Once the driver accepts the tracking request, an EZ Loader User will be able to see tracking details within the "Shipment Tracking" section of the load page.

How to Send a Tracking Request

Step 1 – Go to Load Page and Click “Shipment Tracking” at the bottom of the page

Step 2 – Click “Start New Trucker Tools Tracking”

Step 3 – Enter the applicable phone number and click save to send the tracking request.

Step 4 - Once a driver accepts the tracking request and initiates the tracking, within the load profile will be a list of ping details. There is a blue button that will direct you to the trucker tools website portal with additional tracking and map information.
