Oil Field & Drilling Truck Tracking: Pump and Rig Hours at Each Site

Pump trucks and drill rigs bill by the hour on site and wear by the hour too. We wire the pump and the rig drive into the tracker, so time at each well or hole is recorded with the location.

Fleet installs from $65 per vehicle. Testing a few vehicles first? We do pilot installs too.

What do we monitor on oil field and drilling trucks?

Each picture shows the part that gets wired into the tracker, circled in red. These are illustrations, not photos of customer trucks. The sections below explain how each one is monitored.

How is an oil field pump truck monitored?

The pump on a hot oil, acid or water transfer truck is driven from the PTO or a deck engine. Its run signal records pumping time at each well site. Service companies match it to field tickets and service the pump on hours.

What is tracked on a truck-mounted drill rig?

A truck-mounted rig for water wells, geotechnical work or foundations runs from the PTO or its own deck engine. The run signal gives drilling hours at each hole. Drillers bill by the hour or the foot, and the hours back it up.

What should a drilling or pump company tell us before the job?

Remote sites often have weak cell coverage. Trackers store their records and send them when the signal comes back, so the hours are not lost.

What does the office see once it is wired in?

How do we wire and test it?

We meter every signal before we use it, so the tracker records the equipment actually working, not a switch that was only requested. Power connections are fused, wiring is secured away from heat and moving parts, and each input is tested with the equipment running before the truck goes back out. Wire colors for the truck side are in our Vehicle Wiring Database. See all the equipment we monitor for the other trucks and equipment we wire in.

Which GPS tracking brands do we install?

Every major tracking platform can record pump and rig signals, and we wire them into all of them. Need heavy duty trackers for trucks or heavy equipment? Every brand below makes them, so pick yours and we install it.
