In the past, the only way to “track” a vehicle was to call the driver and ask where he is. New technology, such as GPS tracking, allows companies to keep track of where a truck (and your car) is currently located.
Even though many companies now have truck tracking capabilities, there are still many who do not. And of those that do have this ability, many do not give access directly to customers. So, it frequently requires a call to your car shipping company to find out where your vehicle is currently.
If tracking your vehicle in real time is an important feature for you, then you can look for companies that specifically offer that service. You can contact the car moving companies on MoveCars.com to find one that offers the tracking service you are looking for.
