GPS Fleet Tracking for Oil, Gas & Energy

Geofences do the check-in for you. Without geofences, journey management runs on a spreadsheet and a phone call: the driver calls the office at the gate and again at the site, and someone writes down the time. With a geofence around each lease, site and camp, the High Point GPS platform logs arrival and departure on its own, and flags a truck that has not arrived by its expected time before anyone has to notice. Dispatch sees every truck on the live map. Where the map went dark for lack of coverage, the GPS tracking device stored the trip and uploaded it when the truck came back into range, so the journey record has no gaps.

High Point GPS connects that record to the journey-management and safety systems the operator or the company already uses. The check-in is logged once, and the exception report lands where the safety coordinator expects it. If you work for several operators, each one's rules run on the same database.

A lease road has a posted limit, a site has a lower one, and an operator's safety audit asks how the company enforces both. The platform enforces them as rules: a geofence around the site carries its own speed limit, and a truck that exceeds it triggers an alert to the supervisor and an event in the driver's score. Speeding on the highway commute is scored the same way against the posted limit from the map. The report the operator asks for is a report the platform already produces, per driver and per site, and the coaching record behind it shows what the company did about each event.

AI dash cams complete the safety file. The road-facing camera records what happened in front of the truck; the driver-facing camera with fatigue and distraction detection matters most on the three-hour commute at the end of a twelve-hour shift. Events are retrieved by trip, and the retention and access rules are set by the company.

A water hauler's ticket says it loaded at the source, delivered to the lease and unloaded 30 cubic metres. The platform's record shows the truck inside the source geofence from 6:40 to 7:05 with the PTO engaged for 18 minutes, the drive to the lease, and 22 minutes of pump time inside the lease geofence. When the ticket and the record agree, the invoice goes through; when they do not, the company finds out before the operator does. PTO and pump engagement are read from the truck's own circuits through an IOX-AUXM module on the GPS tracking device, so the times are facts from the vehicle rather than entries on a form.

The same records serve the company's own costing. Time at the source, time on the road, time at the lease and time waiting are separated per truck and per day, which shows where a hauling contract is making money and where it is not.

Oilfield drivers move between exempt and regulated work in a way few other fleets do, and the hours-of-service rules in both Canada and the United States have oilfield-specific provisions for it (in Canada, through an oil well service vehicle permit issued by the province). The driver app supports those provisions, so the driver's log reflects the exemption that applied on each day, and High Point GPS sets the rule sets up for the drivers and trucks they cover. Electronic DVIR uses a truck- or rig-specific checklist, and a defect reaches the shop the same shift rather than at the end of the hitch.

Maintenance runs on engine hours and PTO hours, because a truck that idles through a shift to run its pump or heat its cab wears in ways its odometer does not show. Engine fault codes reach the shop as they are logged, and the shop schedules the repair for the truck's days off rather than discovering the problem on a lease road at two in the morning.
