What’s with that piece of aluminum foil over the vehicle's antenna?
That’s weird, but it must be what kids are doing these days.
Why are some of these trackers unplugged?
My drivers know that these are to stay plugged in and connected to the network at all times. Why are some GPS trackers “working” better than others? I check the hardware and software; there shouldn’t be any problems.
Why am I getting a scrambled signal? Are they trying to jam to GPS tracker?
Have you ever considered that your employees could be tampering with your systems? These are strong accusations, and this probably won’t apply to a lot of employees. However, can you afford NOT knowing what is happening around you?
What can you do if it is happening to you? Do you know how much money or fuel you could be losing out on because of dishonest employees?
It is an increasing problem with fleet managers, and it isn’t getting any better. But with these tips, you should be able to figure out what’s really going on.
• Hide an extra device in the vehicle. If the device the driver knows about "doesn't work" and the hidden device does, you have a pretty good idea that something is going on.
• If things just don't seem to add up write down and match odometer readings to mileage reported by the tracker. This will help you figure out whether the device is being turned off or otherwise disabled.
• Drive the same route yourself with the same device. See if there are reporting gaps due to lack of coverage, canyons, mountains, or other obstructions.
