Shipment visibility

How tracking works today

A secure link, sent directly

When an active shipment is ready for tracking, Delta provides a secure direct tracking link to the broker or approved shipment contact. That contact may share the link with the appropriate customer.

What the link provides

  • Near-real-time shipment visibility from the latest available tractor or trailer location update.
  • The latest position on record and the time that position was reported.
  • A direct view for the approved people handling that shipment—without placing shipment data on a public page.

What is still in development

Public self-service tracking on deltacarriergroup.com is not currently available. Delta is still developing that website experience. If an approved contact needs the current secure link again, dispatch can resend it directly.
