Connects directly with the Trimble Freight Visibility customer portal and provides real-time status and location updates making your business MORE RELIABLE. Review Shipment Details & Directions Start and End Tracking Seamlessly Provide Real-Time Shipment Status Updates Capture and Deliver PODs, Signatures, and Exception Photos Instantly Visibility Drive does require the use of Location Services; however, it will not track drivers when they do not want to be tracked. Drivers choose when to initiate tracking and then Visibility Drive will provide background location updates as long as a shipment is in progress on the device. In order to end a shipment’s tracking immediately, select the Shipment Options button and choose “Exit Shipment”. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
