Live fleet tracking from your drivers’ phones.
OneRoad turns every driver’s phone into a cellular tracking device that’s tightly linked to their Electronic Work Diary (EWD). See location, movement and fatigue status on a live map – without installing black boxes in every truck.

Tracking is powered by driver devices over the mobile network – no workshop installs, no wiring, no downtime.
What is OneRoad mobile fleet tracking?
OneRoad’s mobile tracking module uses the same app your drivers use for EWD to broadcast secure, cellular-based GPS positions back to a central live map. You get real-time visibility of where each driver is, what they’re doing and how close they are to their fatigue limits – in one view.
- Drivers install the OneRoad app, enable location sharing and start using their EWD – tracking begins immediately.
- No need to book trucks into a workshop, run cables or wait for devices to be shipped.
- Ideal for mixed fleets, subcontractors and owner-drivers where you don’t own every vehicle.
- Upgrade to OBx hardware later for engine data, fuel, mass and FTC – without changing systems.
If a driver has a modern smartphone and coverage, you can see them on the map.
- Colour-coded markers and status pills show who is working, resting or approaching a breach.
- Tap into any driver to see their current EWD status, hours used and next required break.
- Filter views by depot, customer, contract, vehicle type or fatigue rule set.
- Feed tracking and EWD events into the Dynamic Dashboard for deeper analytics and risk reporting.
Dispatch, compliance and operations finally share a single source of truth for where drivers are and how safe they are to keep moving.
Everything you need to stay on top of your fleet.

Give each team the visibility they need.
- Dispatch sees all active runs for their depot.
- Compliance sees fatigue and route patterns by driver group.
- Management sees high-level utilisation and performance.
Start app-only, add devices when you’re ready.
- Begin with cellular, app-driven tracking + EWD.
- Add OBx for engine, PTO, mass and advanced data.
- One platform, one set of logins, no re-training.
From driver phones to a live fleet map.
OneRoad’s mobile tracking keeps drivers in control of their EWD, while giving fleets the oversight they need to manage risk, service levels and customer expectations.
Each driver creates their account, sets up their EWD and enables location sharing on their phone. From the first shift, the fleet map starts populating with live positions.
Operations and compliance groups are set up with role-based access. You choose which depots, contracts or lanes each user can see, plus which alerts they receive.
As drivers work, rest and move, the map and fatigue overlay update automatically. Dispatch uses real-time context to reassign jobs, while compliance monitors risk across the day.
Built for mixed, mobile and fast-moving fleets.
Mobile, cellular-based tracking is ideal when you don’t control every truck, your fleet changes regularly, or you need to get visibility in place before you commit to a full hardware rollout.
Start with EWD + Tracking.
From $25.77 / driver per month (EWD + Tracking).
OneRoad’s EWD + Tracking bundle gives you live fleet visibility, fatigue monitoring and driver records in a single subscription. No separate tracking contract, no extra portals, no hardware lock-in.
Use mobile tracking as your entry point: begin with a handful of drivers or a pilot depot, prove the value, then expand across the fleet. When you’re ready for engine, PTO, mass or FTC data, add OBx units to selected vehicles and manage everything from the same dashboard.
Common questions about mobile tracking.
Do we need hardware in every truck to use tracking?
No. Mobile tracking is powered by the OneRoad app on each driver’s phone or tablet. As long as they have a compatible device and coverage, you’ll see them on the map. Hardware (OBx) is optional for extra data.
What happens if a driver loses coverage?
The app continues to log their movements, and sends updates when coverage returns. The map reflects the last known safe point and then “catches up” once new data arrives, so investigations still have a continuous trail.
Can we mix app-based tracking with hardware devices?
Yes. Many fleets start with mobile tracking and then add OBx to high-value or high-risk vehicles. The live map and dashboards show both app and hardware data together, so your team doesn’t need to switch systems.
How accurate is mobile, cellular-based tracking?
Modern smartphones provide high-quality GPS data. For most compliance and operational scenarios – ETAs, route adherence, fatigue oversight – mobile tracking is more than sufficient. Where you need precise engine, mass or PTO data, OBx can be added.
What about driver privacy?
Tracking is tied to duty status and your organisation’s policies. You can configure what’s visible to which roles, and drivers see when location sharing is active. Off-duty periods and personal use can be managed in line with your fatigue and privacy policies.
