Hi Jorieke, The best option (from what you've described) that I can think of would be https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendhak.gpslogger. I can record tracks, and then upload them e.g. to dropbox. It's possible to prefix the track names with device numbers, so you know which track is from which vehicle.
The only issue may be that when I last looked, it required a bit of configuration. I think there are config files that you can share, but then they have to be dropped into the right location. Overall, it's a really flexible and reliable tool. (OSMAnd and to an extent Maps.Me can record tracks. OSMAnd can also ping a server with coordinates, which would give you live tracking, but that may not work well if you have poor connectivity, but I think GPS logger would be better.) It'll be important to ensure that the drivers are aware of the logging, and to get their consent.
