    I was wondering if anyone had experience with GPS for chassis/trailer equipment and also for fleet. I'm quite overwhelmed with various pricing and the amount of data you actually receive. I work for a small sized trucking company (10 trucks) there are some products Skybitz, Fleetilla, GPS North America I've come across so far. Has anybody had experience with these? Recommendations?

    Thanks in advance!

    My brother-in-law has a 20-25 truck fleet. He uses Teletrac, I think it's $45 per tractor for GPS, tracking, messaging, etc. Says he likes it. He doesn't have any GPS on his trailers.

    The fleet I used to manage used Trimble GeoManager (www.road.com) for its tracking. No idea on cost, but it worked well.
