We install GPS trackers, dash and cabin cameras, and telematics on city, county, utility and transit fleets across Spartanburg, Cherokee, Union and Chester counties, working on site at your shop, fuel site or yard. We install every major platform and wire each unit so the mileage, engine hours and door signals it reports are right.
Start with the City of Spartanburg. City Fleet Maintenance services every City vehicle and piece of motorized equipment except fire trucks and transit buses, and it also looks after vehicles for Spartanburg Housing. The buses belong to SPARTA, the City-run transit system, which runs eight fixed routes Monday through Saturday out of the passenger center on North Liberty Street, plus a complementary paratransit service for riders who cannot use a fixed route. That is three different kinds of fleet inside one city: general service trucks, buses and lift-equipped paratransit vehicles.
Spartanburg County is a much bigger footprint. The County counted about 328,000 people in the 2020 census, and estimates now put it past 380,000. County Public Works is responsible for roughly 1,700 miles of county-owned roads, and County Fleet Maintenance handles repairs, writes the specifications for replacement vehicles, lists retired units on GovDeals, and oversees fuel at eight county fuel sites. The Sheriff's Office runs Patrol, Investigations, Civil Process, Courts, Special Operations and Communications divisions. Fire protection is split across dozens of independent fire districts; a 2021 merger of the Croft and Roebuck districts still left 34.
Water is its own fleet. Spartanburg Water covers a service area of about 864 square miles, reaching into Greenville County and North Carolina, and runs the R.B. Simms and Myles W. Whitlock Jr. treatment plants. Its raw water sits in Lake Bowen, which holds about 10.4 billion gallons, and Lake Blalock, at about 7.2 billion. Lake wardens work out of offices at Lake Bowen near Inman and Lake Blalock near Chesnee, so that part of the fleet works from two separate lake sites every day of the week.
Beyond Spartanburg County, the Gaffney Board of Public Works supplies water to about 13,000 customers over more than 380 miles of mains, sewer to about 9,000 through three treatment plants, and electricity to about 8,000. Union County runs its own EMS, Public Works and Recycling, and an airport, while the City of Union provides electric, gas, water and sewer. In Chester County, the County Roads, Auto Maintenance, EMS and Rural Fire Service fleets sit alongside the Chester Metropolitan District, which handles water, wastewater and garbage. Part of the Sumter National Forest's Enoree Ranger District, about 170,000 acres in total, runs through both Union and Chester.
We install on every major platform, including Geotab, Samsara, Motive, Verizon Connect, Lytx and Netradyne, and we fit the hardware to the job the vehicle does.
Hardwired trackers on road crew dumps, utility service trucks and patrol units, OBD units on inspector and pool cars, and battery-powered trackers on trailers, pumps and generators parked at lift stations and reservoirs.
Road and driver cameras for patrol and public works, plus cabin, entry door and lift cameras on buses and paratransit units, with the recorder mounted where riders cannot reach it.
Engine hours, odometer and fault codes read from the vehicle computer, so trip data can be checked against fuel records and fed into the maintenance software your fleet shop already uses.
Yes, as long as the tracker reads engine hours and odometer from the vehicle computer instead of estimating them. Spartanburg County fuels its fleet at eight county sites across 1,700 miles of county road, and every fuel transaction is a question: was that truck at that site, and did the miles since the last fill make sense?
A unit that is tapped to the wrong ignition source or never reads the odometer throws that comparison off, and a poorly installed unit is one of the most common reasons fleet mileage reports drift. We confirm the odometer and hour readings on every vehicle before we sign it off, so the trip data and the fuel records line up.
Yes. Each station gets a geofence, and every truck that enters or leaves it is logged with the time and the vehicle. For a utility like the Gaffney Board of Public Works, with more than 130 miles of sewer line and new lift stations going in on the I-85 corridor between exits 100 and 106 under the Project Gateway sewer expansion, that turns a paper log into a record nobody has to write.
The useful detail is on the install side. Portable pumps and generators parked at a station can carry their own battery trackers, and a truck with a jetter or crane should have its work equipment wired to show when it is running, so a visit shows up as work done rather than just a truck parked on the site.
Yes. A patrol car needs a road camera and maybe a driver camera, but a bus carrying the public needs cabin coverage, a camera on the entry door and, on paratransit units, one on the wheelchair lift, because that is where most complaints and injury claims start.
SPARTA's fixed routes and paratransit service, along with countywide Dial-A-Ride vans, all carry riders who may need a record of when they were picked up. We wire the door and lift signals into the system so each stop is logged, and we lock the recorder away from passengers. SPARTA does not run on Sundays, which gives a full day for installs without touching a route.
Treat the in-car cameras as a separate system with its own rules, set up at install. Spartanburg County residents have already challenged the Sheriff's Office at County Council over license plate reader cameras, and deputies noted the Spartanburg Police Department runs 15 of those cameras inside 18 square miles.
A dash camera records the road and the officer's own driving, which is a transparency and officer safety tool, not a plate database. We set the recording triggers, retention period and user access your policy calls for on the day of the install, so when a records request comes in you already know what exists and who can pull it.
We work throughout Spartanburg County, Cherokee County, Union County and Chester County:
We work across Spartanburg, Cherokee, Union and Chester counties, and we come to your yard, fuel site or motor pool.
Yes. The platforms we install keep logging position, speed and engine data while a vehicle is out of cell coverage and upload it once the signal returns. We also mount the device and antenna so the sky view is clear, which matters on the wooded roads through the Enoree Ranger District.
Yes. With 34 separate fire districts in Spartanburg County, each one can run its own account on the same platform and the same install standard, so the same training, reports and install standard carry over from one district to the next. We install district by district on each district's own schedule.
Yes. We remove the tracker and cameras from retiring units, reinstall them in replacement vehicles, and update the account so the history follows the right vehicle rather than a device that has moved.
Yes. We install where the vehicles are based, including reservoir warden offices, treatment plants, county fuel sites and satellite yards, so nobody has to ferry trucks across the county.
Yes. We install units you already own on any major platform, and we can replace mixed older hardware across City, County and utility fleets on one install standard when you are ready.
City, county, utility or transit, tell us what you run and where it parks, and we will build the install schedule around your routes.
Tell us the departments, vehicle types and unit counts, and we will come back within 24 hours.
