Asset Locator lets you search GenLogs' sensor network to find images and sighting details for a specific truck or trailer. Head to assetlocator.genlogs.io to get started.
Searching for an Asset
You can search using any combination of the fields below. A search matches on every field you fill in, so it's best to start broad and narrow down rather than filling in everything at once.
Cab Identifiers
USDOT
MC Number
Truck License Plate
Cab Number
Power Unit VIN
Equipment Identifiers
Equipment Logo
Trailer Number
Chassis Number
Container Number
Equipment Type
Hazmat
Other filters
Deep Search: matches any text our sensors extracted, even if it doesn't fit a standard field, like unique markings or writing on a trailer
Image ID or Record ID
Sensor ID
City / State
Start Date: defaults to a 3-month lookback. Expand this if you're looking for older sightings
Understanding Your Results
Each result includes images captured by GenLogs' trident sensors (front, side, and rear views, when available), a timestamp, and location details down to the road and lat/long. Switch between list and card view, or click into a result for full asset details.
Each sensor has three cameras with different jobs: one captures the front plate, one captures the side of the cab, and one captures the rear of the trailer. Trailer license plates aren't captured, since that would need a fourth, differently angled camera. If a result looks incomplete, use Show Nearby Traffic to check whether another camera pass caught the missing angle.
Refining and Sharing Results
After you run a search, use the quick filters on the left to narrow your results without starting over. Every result also has a record ID and image ID you can share with a teammate, plus options to export results or download images and a PDF report.
Filtering by MC Number, License Plate, Cab Number, and Equipment Type
These quick filters are especially useful for narrowing a large result set down to exactly the asset or fleet you're checking on:
MC Number: narrow to a specific carrier when a broader search (like a lane or DOT) returns multiple related MCs
License Plate: pinpoint one specific truck out of a carrier's full fleet
Cab Number: same idea, useful when you have a cab number from a BOL or customer report but not a plate
Equipment Type: narrow to just the trailers matching what you're trying to verify, like flatbed, dry van, or reefer
Example: A carrier tells you they have a dedicated reefer available for your lane. Before booking, search their MC number in Asset Locator and filter by Equipment Type: Reefer. If their recent sightings only show flatbed or dry van, that's worth asking about before the load is tendered. The same approach works if a customer reports an issue with one specific truck: filtering by that truck's license plate or cab number narrows results to that one asset's actual history, instead of scrolling through the carrier's entire fleet.
