# Augie now tracks drivers with a single tap

Apr 29, 2026

Getting precise driver locations has always meant chasing down check calls, firing off texts, or standing up separate tracking services. Augie already handles the back-and-forth on check calls and carrier messaging, and now it can pull accurate GPS coordinates from the driver's phone with a single tap.

### Why It Matters

- Get precise, real-time location without spending rep time on check calls or text chasing.
- Replace or supplement paid third-party tracking services with a built-in alternative.
- Give drivers the easiest possible experience: tap a link, allow location, done.

### How It Works

- When a load goes “In Transit,” Augie automatically texts the driver a unique tokenized link.
- The driver taps the link, allows location access in their browser, and GPS coordinates are captured instantly.
- Augie converts the coordinates into a transit update with city, state, and country, and writes it straight into your TMS.
- Links are single-use and expire after 12 hours, with one active link per load at a time.

### Availability

- In early rollout. Contact your Augment rep to get your brokerage enabled.

### Other Updates

- **Assistant emails are now available in the Augment portal**: Augie now surfaces the thousands of emails not tied to a load — customer service, fraud disqualifications, ineligible trucklists — with a full audit timeline of the actions on each.

- **Augie now writes, runs, and evaluates SOP tests**: The Authoring Service now writes, evaluates, runs, and iterates on SOP tests in a self-correcting loop. Edit an SOP, and Augie can confirm it does what you want — without anyone writing a single test by hand.
