Anyone who is responsible for fleet operations knows just how hard it is to keep track of every vehicle in the fleet. At the same time you have to answer to a higher power for every dime you spend in wages, maintenance costs and worst of all fuel. Thanks to GPS fleet management it is now possible to reduce these headaches down to a very small twinge compared to what they were before you put a GPS locator in every vehicle in the fleet.
With GPS fleet management you can now check on the location of every vehicle in your fleet down to the nearest yard at any moment of the day or night. If you have a driver who seems to be running far too much overtime for a guy that is late to his stops, you can keep an eye on him and see why he seems to be claiming too much overtime. You might find that he is taking a long nap in the middle of the day as the locator shows the vehicle sitting idle for far too long or it can show you that he is just a slow driver.
Either way it gives you the opportunity to reduce your costs by replacing an efficient driver.
Many drivers prefer to take the easiest route to a destination, unfortunately this may not be the most direct route and the extra miles cause your costs to add up in overtime and fuel costs. By using the map function of your GPS fleet management software you can see which routes your drivers are using. This way you can encourage them to take the most direct route which barring heavier traffic should improve overall fleet efficiency and cut down of wasted fuel and excessive overtime.
Your fleet carries your company's reputation everywhere it goes; this means that how your drivers behave on the open road is how people tend to think of your company. If you have drivers who like the thrill of speed it can tarnish your company's image in the public eye.
On top of this it is a proven fact that speeding wastes fuel, which at today's high prices is certainly something no one can afford. You can see exactly how fast any vehicle is going any time it is moving with GPS fleet management software, this way you can get your drivers under control and save your reputation and money at the same time.
Drivers tend to resist GPS fleet management at first, but the first time you get them out of a speeding ticket with the recorded satellite information they generally like it a lot better. With this in mind it is time for you to update your fleet and install GPS locators from Get I Sight in all of your cars, vans and trucks. It is one of the best investments you can make to save money for your company and keep your operating expenses well within budget, which will keep upper management off your back.
