As we wrap up 2025 ...

As we wrap up 2025 and celebrate 20 years in business, I’ve been thinking about what keeps some companies around while others fade away.

Over the years, I’ve seen a half-dozen “low-cost” GPS tracking startups come and go. They show up with slick marketing, offer cheap one-time devices, no yearly fees, or long-term contracts with “free” hardware. The catch is always the same. The unit runs on a sealed battery that lasts a few years, and when it dies, you have to buy their replacement.

In the last few months alone, I’ve already seen two of these new names pop up again. I wish them well, but the track record isn’t great.

At Trailer-Alarms.com, we’ve stayed focused on long-term reliability. We partner directly with a manufacturer that’s been doing this twice as long as we have. We work with developers and programmers who know the technology inside and out. When something needs to be improved, we can pick up the phone and make it happen.

That approach is what’s kept us here for two decades. Proven systems. Real partnerships. Consistent results.
