Explanation:
This seemingly innocent query may be more complicated than it seems. In the international scope, carrier services is an umbrella term, which may or may not always involve "trucking/trucks".
For example, in Germany, "Federal Road Transport Service" is used. At the end of the day, the most appropriate translation will depend on the target country. If it is the USA, then tracking service would be fine. Otherwise, caveat emptor.
