Question

A trucking company delivers products all over the country. The executives at the company would like to have better insight into the location of their drivers to ensure the shipments are following secure routes. Which of the following would BEST help the executives meet this goal?

Options

  • AInstall GSM tracking on each product for end-to-end delivery visibility.
  • BImplement geo-fencing to track products.
  • CRequire drivers to geo-tag documentation at each delivery location.
  • DEquip each truck with an RFID tag for location services.

Why each option

Geo-fencing defines virtual geographic boundaries around approved routes, generating alerts when drivers deviate, giving executives continuous route-compliance visibility.

AInstall GSM tracking on each product for end-to-end delivery visibility.

GSM tracking on individual products provides end-to-end package visibility but is product-centric rather than vehicle-centric and does not monitor whether the truck itself is following a secure route.

BImplement geo-fencing to track products.Correct

Geo-fencing allows the company to program virtual perimeters that map to pre-approved, secure delivery corridors and trigger real-time notifications when a truck crosses outside those boundaries. This directly satisfies the requirement to verify that shipments follow secure routes, not just to know a truck's location at a point in time. It provides proactive enforcement rather than passive location logging.

CRequire drivers to geo-tag documentation at each delivery location.

Geo-tagging at delivery locations only captures discrete endpoint data points and provides no continuous monitoring of the route traveled between stops.

DEquip each truck with an RFID tag for location services.

RFID technology has a read range measured in centimeters to a few meters and requires proximity to a reader, making it unsuitable for wide-area nationwide route tracking.
