Samsara Integration for Real-Time Fleet & Load Visibility

TruckMaster’s Samsara integration connects your TMS to real-time vehicle data—GPS positions, telematics, and driver activity—so you can see where your assets are and how loads are progressing without leaving TruckMaster.

Samsara captures data from gateways, ELDs, and sensors installed in your trucks. TruckMaster uses that data to keep loads, trips, and driver activity aligned so dispatch, safety, and customer service share the same live view of your fleet.

✅ Who it’s for: Fleets that use Samsara for telematics and ELD and want that information surfaced directly in TruckMaster TMS.

📡 What Samsara Does

Samsara is a connected operations platform that provides real-time GPS tracking, telematics, ELD/HOS, camera insights, and sensor data for your vehicles and drivers.

Collects GPS locations from gateways installed in your vehicles.
Monitors speed, idling, utilization, and route history.
Provides ELD-compliant HOS and duty status information.
Feeds live data into dashboards, reports, and APIs.

🔐 How the Integration Works

The TruckMaster + Samsara integration securely pulls Samsara data into your TMS so you can associate vehicles and drivers with active loads and trips.

Load and trip details are tendered from TruckMaster directly to the driver’s mobile app, so drivers receive dispatch instructions, stops, and load information on a single device.
Vehicles and drivers in Samsara are linked to corresponding records in TruckMaster.
TruckMaster requests GPS and status updates from Samsara for active trips.
Locations and events are shown on loads, trips, and dispatch screens.
Optional: HOS and activity data help support planning and compliance workflows.

Automated customer updates: Real-time tracking and milestone events captured through Samsara can automatically update customers via email notifications or the TruckMaster customer portal, reducing manual status calls and improving visibility.

Paperwork for invoicing: If documents like BOLs and PODs are captured through your driver workflow, TruckMaster can attach that paperwork to the trip so it’s available when you bill and send invoices.

Your fleet continues to run on Samsara hardware and apps; TruckMaster simply uses that live data to keep operations in sync.

Safety & Compliance Benefits

Use Samsara HOS and activity data to support dispatch planning.
Reduce violations by ensuring drivers aren’t over-dispatched near HOS limits.
Strengthen documentation for audits and scorecard-based customers.
Aligns safety, dispatch, and operations around the same data.

🧠 Use Cases & Why It Matters

Fleets already on Samsara: Bring existing telematics and GPS data into TruckMaster without changing hardware.
Dispatch & operations teams: See live truck positions while assigning, planning, and monitoring loads.
Customer service teams: Answer “Where’s my load?” questions with current locations and movement history.
Safety & compliance teams: Use Samsara data alongside TMS records to support investigations and audits.
Billing teams: Keep trip documents and status aligned so invoice packages are easier to complete and send.

As shippers and regulators demand more transparency, the TruckMaster + Samsara integration helps you use the data you already collect to run a safer, more efficient, and more responsive fleet—without forcing drivers or dispatch to learn new tools.

❓ TruckMaster ↔ Samsara Fleet & Telematics — Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need a Samsara subscription for this integration?

Yes. The integration is designed for fleets that already use Samsara hardware and services. TruckMaster connects to your Samsara environment to read live vehicle and driver data.

What data does TruckMaster use from Samsara?

At a high level, TruckMaster uses GPS locations and related telematics data from Samsara to show where vehicles are and how they’re progressing against assigned loads. Additional details (such as HOS or activity) may be available depending on your configuration.

Does the integration change how drivers use Samsara?

No. Drivers keep using Samsara hardware and apps as they do today. The integration works between the systems in the background and does not require drivers to learn new tools.

Can we control which vehicles or data are visible in TruckMaster?

Yes. You can work with TruckMaster support to define which Samsara assets, drivers, and data points are used by TruckMaster, based on your operational and privacy requirements.

Does this integration replace our existing dispatch workflows?

No. Your dispatch and planning workflows stay in TruckMaster. The integration simply overlays Samsara’s real-time data on top of those workflows to make them more informed.

How do we enable the Samsara integration?
