The idea of tracking someone can make them feel uncomfortable. That is, of course, if there’s a reason for them to feel uncomfortable. If your service trucks are going where they’re suppose to be going, at speeds that are legal, there should be no reason for discomfort. In fact, tracking should be embraced as a way to better manage vehicle usage and reward efficiency and safe driving.
Watching dots on a map that represent your fleet, as they travel in real time every 20-seconds down the road, is a luxury that should be taken advantage of by businesses concerned about their growing overhead expenses. How much have your fuel costs gone up over the past 12 months due to unnecessary driving? How about labor? Could you have accomplished the same amount of work with fewer employees? How much time is it taking each of your service people on the calls they make? Why is it that one of your trucks always seems to be going out of its way to get to where they need to go? How many speeding tickets have you paid over the past 12 months? Has anyone been injured by someone driving your vehicle? What are the legal ramifications of giving an employee the keys to one of your vehicles? The financial ramifications?
Implementing a solid tracking strategy will allow you to do exactly that: track. You can easily install a tracking device that will act as an auditor of time, speed, and distance. Tracking isn’t as much about trusting your drivers as it is about managing them and teaching them to make more efficient decisions. Remember, little brothers can learn a lot from watching their big brothers; especially if they don’t see them as a threat.
