The answer, as recorded

Searched. Here's how I'd actually answer this. First, the fork in the road: if you run 1-15 service trucks and already use job-management software, you probably want GPS bolted onto that rather than a second standalone system. If you run mixed fleets, heavy equipment, or anything DOT-regulated, you want real telematics. That changes the answer, so I'll cover both. **For most small trades shops (1-15 trucks)** 1. **Force by Mojio (Force Fleet Tracking)** - Where I'd start. ~$20/vehicle/month, OBD-II plug-in (any light truck or van from 1996 on), and crucially **no long-term contract**. It integrates natively with both Jobber and Housecall Pro, so dispatch sees truck locations on the same map as the jobs. For a plumber or electrician with six vans, this is the lowest-regret option. 2. **Housecall Pro / Jobber + their GPS add-on** - If you're already on either, add their tracking ($20/vehicle/mo on Housecall Pro) before shopping separately. One login, one bill, and dispatching the nearest tech to an emergency call actually works because the jobs and the trucks live in the same system. 3. **Linxup** - Solid budget alternative, ~$25/vehicle/mo. Hardware is $69 month-to-month or free if you sign 3 years. Slightly weaker reviews than the above, but worth a quote. **For larger or mixed fleets (15+ vehicles, heavy equipment, DOT)** 4. **Verizon Connect** - The default "best overall" pick in most 2026 roundups. Deepest feature set: maintenance scheduling, fuel-card integration, strong reporting. Watch the terms - the headline ~66¢/vehicle/day requires a **36-month contract**, and real-world pricing lands ~$25-40/vehicle/mo plus hardware. 5. **Samsara** - Best if safety and compliance are the driver: AI dashcams, ELD/DVIR, strong routing. ~$27-33/vehicle/mo (up to ~$60 loaded) plus hardware, and it **locks you into a 3-year minimum**. Great product, worst contract flexibility of the group. 6. **Motive** - The Samsara alternative I'd quote alongside it. Comparable safety/telematics stack from ~$25/vehicle/mo, but with **one-year or monthly** terms. If you like Samsara but hate the three-year commitment, this is the move. 7. **Azuga** - Pick it specifically if driver behavior is your problem (speeding, hard braking, insurance claims); it has driver scoring and rewards. ~$25-35/vehicle/mo, typically 36-month term. **For construction trades with yellow iron** 8. **Tenna** or **CLUE** - Both are built for construction specifically, tracking excavators, trailers, generators, and pickups in one system with work orders, inspections, and utilization. If half your assets don't have an OBD-II port, generic truck telematics will fail you and these won't. 9. **ServiceTitan Fleet Pro** - Only if you're already a ServiceTitan shop. Not worth switching platforms for, but if you're on it, use it before buying a third-party tracker. Two practical notes: get the **hardware cost quoted separately** every time - it's routinely excluded from the per-vehicle price - and treat contract length as a real feature, not fine print. Azuga, Linxup, and Force all offer 30-day trials; run one on two trucks before committing anyone to 36 months.
