🛡️ Risk Is Inevitable. But Blind Risk? That’s a Choice.
Every responsible business owner carries insurance.
You insure your vehicles, your building, your tools, your liability.
But when it comes to trailers, equipment, and mobile assets—too many businesses take a risk that no policy can fix:
- ❌ They don’t know where their assets are.
- ❌ They don’t know when they’ve moved.
- ❌ And by the time they realize something’s missing—it’s too late.
In 2025, relying on luck is not a business plan.
If you wouldn’t go uninsured, you shouldn’t go untracked.
💥 Insurance Protects You After the Loss.
GPS Tracking Can Prevent It.
Let’s look at the difference:
Feature | Insurance | GPS Tracking |
Pays for stolen items | ✅ Yes (minus deductible) | ❌ No |
Prevents theft | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (alerts & deterrents) |
Helps recover stolen assets | ⚠️ Sometimes | ✅ Yes |
Requires a claim | ✅ Always | ❌ Never |
Affects your premium | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
Works in real-time | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
Insurance is a safety net.
GPS is a power tool.
You need both.
🚨 Why Tracking Matters—Even If You’re Insured
Insurance won’t:
- Get your trailer back before Monday’s job
- Recover your stolen equipment in hours
- Help you find where your subcontractor left the generator
- Prove that a customer’s gear wasn’t on-site when it was stolen
But a GPS tracker will.
“We had great insurance. Still lost $8,000 in downtime. GPS would have prevented the whole thing.”

📊 The Hidden Costs Insurance Won’t Cover Job Delays & Cancellations
“Sorry, we can’t work today” doesn’t go over well with clients.
Lost Trust & Reputation
Repeat customers become one-time customers when you can’t deliver.
Employee Idle Time
Paying a crew to sit and wait = burning cash.
Skyrocketing Premiums
One claim today means higher costs tomorrow.
Deductibles
$1,000–$2,500 gone before your claim even pays out.
With GPS tracking, you may not have to file a claim at all.
The asset is recovered, the job goes on, and your premiums stay low.
🧠 If It’s Important Enough to Insure.
It’s Important Enough to Track.
Think about everything you haul:
- Trailers
- Tools
- Generators
- Landscaping equipment
- Jobsite storage boxes
- Skid steers or mini excavators
If it moves—and your business depends on it—you should know where it is at all times.
