GPS Tracking Systems Maximize Fleet Productivity
Geotab productivity tools from Fuel Express pair the GO9 tracking device with MyGeotab software: real-time vehicle location, route planning and dispatch, idling and utilization reports, and fuel fill-up data that lines up with your Fuel Express fleet fuel card purchases — one system for where vehicles go and what they spend.
Fleet productivity tracking uses GPS and engine data to show where every vehicle is, how it is used, and where time and fuel are being wasted. The gains come from acting on that data: tighter routes, less idling, and vehicles matched to the work.
Managing a growing fleet is hard, but the right tools make it manageable. Fuel Express offers Geotab to maximize fleet productivity, and combining its GPS tracking with the Fuel Express fleet fuel card has been a game changer for fleet managers. Here is how your fleet can become more efficient and customer-focused too.
The GO9 GPS Tracking System
The Geotab GO9 device plugs into each vehicle and streams real-time data: where the vehicle is, how fast it is traveling, and whether it is idling. The compact device gives fleet managers what they need to eliminate unnecessary stops and detours, and dispatchers can send new jobs and updated routes to drivers mid-shift through MyGeotab and the Geotab Drive app.
How does Geotab cut wasted time and miles?
Route plans can be compared against what actually happened, so missed or out-of-order stops stand out. Zones and geofences flag arrivals, departures, and unauthorized use, and idling reports show exactly where engine hours are burning fuel without moving freight. Utilization metrics — days used, hours driven, idle versus drive time — reveal which vehicles earn their keep, which supports fleet optimization decisions like right-sizing.
The Ultimate Fleet Fuel Card
Gas credit cards are often tied to branded stations, forcing drivers into lengthy detours to fuel up. The Fuel Express fleet fuel card works at thousands of locations across dozens of retailers, and every purchase logs what was bought, when, and where. MyGeotab fuel reports detect fill-ups from vehicle data, so fuel card transactions and telematics line up — a fill-up with no matching card purchase, or a purchase with no matching fill-up, stands out immediately.
Mileage Management and More
The GO9 also protects drivers by monitoring seat belt use, engine status, and risky driving habits. Safe driving lowers insurance costs, protects drivers, and increases profitability, and engine data supports a proactive maintenance program that keeps vehicles on the road instead of in the shop.

Geotab Productivity FAQs
It shows where every vehicle is in real time, compares planned routes against actual trips, flags idling and unauthorized use with zones, and reports utilization — so managers cut wasted miles, wasted hours, and underused vehicles.
Yes. Dispatchers send new jobs, stops, and updated routes to drivers mid-shift through MyGeotab and the Geotab Drive app, so plans adjust to the day instead of the day being lost to the plan.
Yes. MyGeotab fuel reports detect fill-ups from vehicle data, and pairing that with Fuel Express fleet fuel card transactions makes mismatches obvious — a purchase without a fill-up, or a fill-up without a purchase, stands out.
Zones mark offices, job sites, yards, and customer locations, and trigger alerts when vehicles arrive, leave, or show up where they should not be — verifying site time, catching unauthorized use, and tightening schedules.
Yes. Utilization reporting covers days used, hours driven, distance, and idle versus drive time, which shows which vehicles earn their keep and supports right-sizing decisions as the fleet grows.
