## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> 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
