Follow Your Vehicle Through the Auto Transport Journey

Shipping a vehicle leaves a gap between handing over the keys and receiving it at the destination. Whether you are relocating, buying a car from another state, or sending a collector vehicle to an event, GPS tracking gives you an additional way to check its reported location along the route.

Cube GPS lets you review location updates and movement history in the Cube Tracker app. Share access with the person receiving the vehicle so both ends of the journey can see the same information. A geofence around the destination can help you notice a reported arrival in that area.

Prepare the device before the pickup appointment. Charge it, activate its data plan, and confirm the mounting position with the transport company. Keep the tracker clear of loading equipment and tie-down points. Enclosed transporters can affect reception, so check whether your setup reports reliably under the planned transport conditions.

Use tracker reports alongside updates from the carrier. Review the latest report time before interpreting a location and contact the transport company when you need a delivery estimate or explanation of a stop. Continue documenting vehicle condition at pickup and delivery; location history provides movement context, not a vehicle inspection.

Product details

Cube GPS Pro is rechargeable and offers magnetic mounting for suitable vehicle locations. Battery performance varies with reporting frequency, movement, reception, and use, so allow a charging margin for the planned journey and potential delays.

Remote reports require an active Cube data plan and compatible cellular and GPS reception. Route coverage, metal shielding, and vehicle placement can affect updates. Check supported service before arranging cross-border transport.

For businesses shipping several vehicles, pair and monitor multiple trackers in one app and keep a record of the vehicle assigned to each device. Each tracker needs its own service plan. Collect and recharge devices at delivery before assigning them to another shipment.

FAQ

Vehicle shipping and auto transport tracking questions.

Can I track my car while an auto transport company ships it?

You can track a vehicle you own or are authorized to monitor when the carrier allows the installation and the tracker has power, service, and usable reception. Confirm placement with the carrier before pickup.

Will the tracker work inside an enclosed transporter?

Metal walls and vehicle placement can interfere with GPS and cellular signals. Test where possible and expect that enclosed transport may produce gaps or delayed reports. Check the timestamp of the latest update.

Can I receive an alert near the delivery location?

Create a geofence around the destination and enable notifications. An entry alert can indicate reported arrival in that area, but it does not confirm unloading or completion of delivery.

Does Cube show a guaranteed delivery time?

No. Location updates and history provide movement information. Ask the carrier for delivery estimates, scheduling changes, and confirmation of the handoff.

Can the tracker operate without the vehicle engine running?

Yes. Cube GPS trackers have their own rechargeable batteries. Keep the device charged and its data plan active, and confirm that the chosen position provides usable reception.

Which tracker is suitable for a longer shipment?

Cube GPS Pro is suited to journeys where longer battery life is helpful and mounting space is available. Select reporting settings around the trip duration and charge before pickup. Cube GPS is the compact alternative when size matters more.
