    Connect your GPS trackers

    Last updated 2026-10-07

    Connect the GPS trackers on your trailers and equipment to Patriot Hauls to see where every unit is, how far it has gone, and when it moves. You connect each tracker provider once. After that, your units show up on their own.

    Good to know: Fleet Tracking is on the Operator plan and up. Your tracker keys are stored encrypted and only used to read your own devices.

    Where to connect

    1. Go to Dashboard, then My Fleet, then Fleet Tracking. In the app, open Fleet Tracking from your fleet.
    2. Open the Trackers & setup tab.
    3. In the Connect a tracker card, pick your Provider.

    You can connect more than one provider. Units from all of them show up together on one dashboard.

    Connect Optimus trackers

    Optimus needs two things from your Optimus account: an API key and a Client ID. You paste both into Patriot Hauls.

    Step 1: Get the Integrations tab turned on (do this first).

    1. Log in to Optimus Pro and look for Integrations in the menu on the left.
    2. If you do not see it, open the support chat inside Optimus and ask them to enable Integrations on your account for API access. Nothing else works until they do.
    3. When they confirm, log out of Optimus and log back in. Integrations now shows on the left.

    Step 2: Copy your API key and Client ID.

    1. Open Integrations and find the Optimus API 3P card.
    2. Open its credentials. Copy your API key and your Client ID. You need both.
    3. Set the status to Active and click Save.

    Step 3: Choose which trackers to share.

    1. On the same card, click Manage Units.
    2. Add the trackers you want to show in Patriot Hauls and save.

    Step 4: Connect in Patriot Hauls.

    1. In Connect a tracker, choose Optimus Tracker.
    2. Paste your Client ID and your API key.
    3. Click Connect.

    Heads up: Optimus takes about 1 to 2 hours to start sending data for trackers you just added, and it only shows activity from the moment each one switched on. If you connect and see 0 units, that is normal. Check back in a couple of hours.

    Connect LoneStar trackers

    LoneStar issues API keys by request. Contact LoneStar Tracking to have one created for your account. Then choose LoneStar Tracking in Connect a tracker, paste the key, and click Connect.

    Connect RideDog trackers

    Choose RideDog and click Connect with RideDog. You sign in on RideDog's site and come right back to Patriot Hauls.

    If something is not working

    • No Integrations tab in Optimus: ask Optimus support to enable it, then log out and back in.
    • Connect will not go through: copy the API key and Client ID again and paste them fresh. Make sure no extra spaces came along.
    • Connected but no units yet: with Optimus, wait 1 to 2 hours. Also check that the trackers were added under Manage Units in Optimus.
