Which term refers to software downloaded to a carrier's phones to track their location during transport?

• A. Tracking Software
• B. CPM
• C. Lumper
• D. Load PO# or Pickup Number

Answer: (A)

Tracking software is the term for software installed on a carrier’s phones that continuously reports GPS data back to the dispatcher, giving real-time visibility of a load’s location and movement during transport. This enables live location tracking, ETA adjustments, and proof-of-delivery updates. The other options don’t fit the concept: CPM is a rate metric (cost per mile), a lumper is a person who helps load or unload freight, and a Load PO# or Pickup Number is simply an identifier used in paperwork, not a tracking tool.
