Once you install the Tread app, location settings help you and Dispatchers take advantage of the Geo-location and tracking capabilities of Tread to improve efficiencies in logistics.
Enabling GPS helps automate Tracking sheets, for example.
Tread supports 5G, 3G & LTE networks. Using location services, Tread delivers location information about a job by using GPS, and cellular networks to determine your location.
Next Billion is used to provide you with in-app navigation, commercial routing, Toll road avoidance, and for optimizing your load deliveries.
