Falcon Courier Tracking - Track Consignment and Parcel Delivery Status Online

Falcon Tracking is a name that points to two different services, so this guide separates them. One is a UK system that turns tachograph readings and truck movements into usable data for fleet managers; the other is the parcel lookup people use when a consignment travels with Falcon in India. You will see what each one shows and what to do with it.

Falcon Tracking Explained: Two Services, One Name

The UK offering is built around a small in-vehicle device from Road Tech Computers that reports position and engine readings to web-based software. It is sold as a vehicle tracking product for commercial fleets, with efficiency and uptime as the selling points, and it suits operators who need more than a dot on a map.

Searching the phrase mostly surfaces the cargo and courier brands, which is why the final section covers them.

Fleet Visibility on Live Maps

Seeing every truck at once is the starting point. The software pairs live vehicle tracking with Google Maps and Street View, so a dispatcher can check a depot gate or a roadside layby from a desktop, and satellite imagery adds detail that a plain line cannot. Route history lets you replay each journey and compare routes to find a shorter run for the next job, with the exact location of every stop on record.

Remote Tacho Downloads in a Tracking System

Remote tacho downloads send the driver's tacho file straight from the vehicle to the office each day, so nobody drives to the depot with a card reader. The setup is a tracking unit with a built-in download feature, and the daily data lands in the Tachomaster software ready for analysis.

Live Tachograph Data for Driver Compliance

Managers see drive, work and rest periods as they happen, so a shift can be rearranged before a limit is reached. If a truck moves with no tacho card inserted, a No Driver Card alert reaches the Road Tech Notifier, which protects the record of the driver's hours. Real-time visibility like this supports working time compliance and removes the end-of-week scramble to fill gaps in tacho records.

Vehicle Tracking Alerts for Fleet Safety

You choose which events matter and the system tells you the moment they happen. Alerts replace reading reports afterwards: you act on exceptions, which lifts planner productivity and keeps trucks moving. A vehicle tracking system also leaves a time-stamped record you can use to settle a dispute over hours spent on a customer site.

Geofence, Speeding and Harsh Braking

Draw a geofence around a customer site and you are told about arrivals, departures and long waits. Speeding and harsh braking are logged against each trip, so you can see where they cluster, such as a steep exit road or a tight junction.

Driver Behaviour and Idling

A grading system turns driver behaviour into a score for each person and vehicle, so coaching rests on evidence. Idling is the quiet cost: engines left running at depots burn fuel and add wear, and the report shows which trucks do it most.

Telematics in Practice: Planning Thursday's Run for One Driver

It is Wednesday evening and I am planning Thursday for a haulier running a 44-tonne artic. The question: can one card holder take the 9 hour 35 minute Leeds-to-Exeter rotation? I open the week's daily downloads in the vehicle tracking software and read the totals instead of guessing.

They show Monday at 9h 50m, Tuesday at 9h 20m and Wednesday at 8h 45m. Anything over 9 hours is an extended day, and the drivers' hours rules allow only two of them a week, each capped at 10 hours. Monday and Tuesday used both, and that is the number I watch, because the 56-hour weekly limit is nowhere near: the three days add up to 27h 55m.

Adding the planned run gives 37h 30m for the week, well under 56 hours, yet Thursday would be a third extended day and an infringement. The weekly total is the wrong thing to check here.

I move the final 45-minute delivery to Friday. Thursday drops to 8h 50m, an ordinary day, and the week to 36h 45m with 19h 15m left under the cap. A hand check agrees: 27h 55m plus 8h 50m is 36h 45m, and 56 hours minus that leaves 19h 15m.

One caveat: my 8h 50m comes from route software, but the tacho counts any movement, including a 20-minute yard shunt at the depot. So when a day lands within half an hour of 9 hours, I plan it as if it will tip over. The next action is concrete: Friday's collection moves to the afternoon and Thursday's rota goes out tonight.

Advanced Telematics and the CAN-Bus

Advanced telematics goes beyond position by reading the vehicle's own CAN-Bus, the internal network that carries speed, fuel and engine messages. Reading it directly means the figures match what the cab shows rather than an estimate from GPS signals, and it is the reason a fleet gets fuel and speed detail at all.

Fleet Analytics and Summary Dashboards

Utilisation, acceleration, braking, engine load and cruise control use sit together on one screen, with a drill-down by driver or vehicle. The analytics show how the whole operation is being used before you open a single detailed report.

Live Fuel Data and Speed Data

Fuel levels come straight from the vehicle, so a sudden drop stands out as possible theft. The data also gives accurate speed and direction, and a replayed journey shows whether a late delivery came from a slow route or a long stop.

Track Your Fleet with Pay as You Go Pricing

Falcon's commercial model for this product is simple: zero upfront costs, no extra SIM card charges and billing that follows use, so a small operator can start with a few vans and add more later. Because the software is web-based, you sign in from any browser and customise your screens without installing anything.

DOT Tracking Versus Falcon Cargo Shipment Tracking

Everything above concerns hardware fitted to a truck. A consignment lookup is a different job: you hold a reference number and want to know where a parcel is. The Falcon Cargo and Falcon Courier brands in India each publish their own page for that, and neither is connected to the fleet system. Searches for the Falcon Tracking name often land there, so check the domain before entering a number.

How to Track Your Shipment

• Falcon Cargo: use the Track Your Shipment link on its home page; the company serves a network of 50+ branches across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
• Falcon Courier: its tracking page asks for AWB numbers, and several can be entered at once, separated by commas.
• Parcel portal: the Falcon Cargo page on the iCargo system asks for a GRN or LR number plus a mobile number.

Keep the reference from your receipt, since a lookup cannot work without it.
