The present invention is a method and a device for tracking the unloading and loading of containers from and onto carrying platforms of tracks, using unloading and loading motion activity time course patterns characteristic of a specific container in combination with a specific carrying platform of a truck. In the invention the device is connected to a specific container and records the tilting angle of the container in the time course of unloading and/or loading from and onto a specific platform of the truck.
