Share your live location (Samsara)
Quick answer
Generate a public, time-limited Live Sharing link so a broker can see the truck's location without a Samsara login.
Samsara Live Sharing creates a secure web link that shows a vehicle's real-time location and recent trail. Anyone with the link can view it (no Samsara account needed) until it expires or you turn it off. It's the fastest way to give a broker live visibility on a load.
- 1
Sign in to the Samsara dashboard
Go to cloud.samsara.com and log in with your fleet admin or dispatcher account.
- 2
Open the vehicle
Go to Fleet → Vehicles (or the live map) and select the truck assigned to the load.
- 3
Start Live Sharing
On the vehicle's detail/map view, click Share (the share icon) and choose Live Sharing / Create a live-sharing link.
- 4
Set how long to share
Pick an expiration (e.g. a few hours, the trip length, or a custom window). The link stops working automatically when it expires.
- 5
Copy the link and send it
Copy the generated URL and send it to the broker by email or text. They open it in any browser to watch the truck move in real time.
- 6
Stop sharing early (optional)
Return to the vehicle's share menu and disable the link any time to revoke access before it expires.
💡 The exact button labels can vary slightly by Samsara dashboard version — use the official guide if your screen differs.
💡 The viewer sees only location for the share window; they don't get access to your Samsara account.
