As truck technology continues to introduce innovative ways to track various facets of driving and navigating, those involved in the industry can easily find the perfect ways to haul their freight at the most efficient level. In particular, global positioning systems (GPS) are consistently evolving to offer more features to their units that can help ensure trucking safety.

Not only can GPS systems help motorists plot their route, they can also tell drivers their speed and direction of travel. Some units can keep these numbers on record so companies may check on a trucker's averages to ensure they are staying within regulations.
