A door sensor is a device designed to monitor the opening and closing of a door, commonly used in vehicles, trailers, and storage units. These sensors play a vital role in fleet management by improving security and helping managers track cargo access in real-time. The sensor works by detecting changes in the door’s position. When the door is opened or closed, the sensor sends a signal to a connected system, such as a fleet management platform. This data can trigger alerts for fleet managers, letting them know when and where a door was accessed. This is particularly useful for tracking deliveries, monitoring driver activity, and ensuring the safety of valuable cargo.

For fleets, door sensors provide an additional layer of security by helping prevent unauthorized access and theft. If a door is opened unexpectedly or outside of scheduled stops, the system can immediately notify managers, allowing them to take quick action. TruckX integrates door sensor technology with its fleet management platform to offer complete visibility into vehicle and cargo security. By combining door sensors with GPS tracking and real-time alerts, TruckX ensures fleets can monitor their operations efficiently and protect their assets. Door sensors are a simple yet powerful device that enhances safety, simplifies operations, and provides peace of mind for businesses managing fleets and transporting goods.
