Global GPS tracking for trucks is only possible via communication satellites
GPS tracking for trucks over great distances and covering several countries or even continents can only be successful if one uses modern communication satellites for the transmission of the positioning information. Cell phone networks only cover a relatively small part of the Earth's surface and international roaming often is expensive.
Not only trucks
Instead of "truck" we can also read : "trailer", "railcar", "container", etc.

Numerex Networx
Numerex Networx GPS tracking for trucks satellite solutions provide reliable, real-time visibility for monitoring assets from continent to continent and across urban and remote areas. Offering extensive coverage in over 120 countries and remote communication across the globe, the solutions use Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to give you easy and reliable access to mission-critical supply chains. Designed to provide reliable digital data communications for remote sensing and monitoring applications, the satellite-based GPS tracking for trucks solutions securely and cost effectively monitor a variety of remote assets through securely and cost effectively.
Not only are Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications more reliable for data transmission than most terrestrial systems, they also offer substantial benefits over Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites. These advantages include lower power requirements, reduced latency, less shadowing from buildings, stacked containers, etc. and — more importantly the redundancy and increased reliability of single satellite failure.
TransCore’s GlobalWave Slap & Track
TransCore’s GlobalWave Slap & Track Mobile Terminal is a compact
all-satellite communications device designed for basic GPS tracking for trucks
applications. Using a two-way protocol, it sends reports, receives
commands, and polls from anywhere throughout North America. The
affordable, very low-profile data communications device provides highend
tracking performance at an unprecedented price in the industry.
The location accuracy provided by GlobalWave’s integrated Global
Positioning System (GPS) technology and the ability to change
reporting characteristics "over the air" in minutes provides customers
with unparalleled control over their fleets. Use of the Slap & Track
Mobile Terminal can reduce trailer-to-tractor ratio, prevent and reduce
cargo theft, help recover misplaced or stolen equipment quickly, and
reduce insurance costs.
Installation of the terminal unit can take less than 10 minutes and be
performed on loaded trailers, thereby saving maintenance time and
effort. The low-profile data communications device is inconspicuous on
the top of the trailer, out of sight from thieves or others who might
misuse or tamper with equipment.
With software integration already complete for most major dispatch
software packages, customers can easily poll and retrieve data from the
Slap & Track Mobile Terminal into their existing enterprise dispatch
software. Customers can locate equipment anywhere in North America
within minutes and access trailer data without leaving their familiar
computer screens.
