As A Business Owner, You Are Faced With Many Challenges...Managing Your Drivers Out On The Road Could Be A Time Consuming And Almost Futile Task. If You Could Have A Manager In Every Vehicle, Do You Think Productivity Would Increase? Would Abuses Of Company Policy & Procedures Decrease? You Better Believe It...
As fuel costs continue to spiral upwards, any business with vehicles deployed out in the field, should take heed. Here are three good reasons why you should consider investing in a GPS Fleet Monitoring System:
1. Speeding & Fuel Consumption:
On average a vehicle traveling 10 mph faster than the speed limit increases fuel consumption by 20%. Driving 20 mph over the limit increases consumption to 25%!
With our GPS Fleet tracking system, setting speed thresholds are as easy as clicking a few buttons on our web interface. When a vehicle exceeds the set speed threshold, our GPS Fleet tracking system will trigger an email and/or text message alert.
2. Off Route Driving/Personal Business While On Your Time:
How much excessive fuel is spent daily on drivers who leave their scheduled routes? A vehicle that gets say for example, 6 mpg that is driven 20 miles off route per day will cost you an additional $13.50 in fuel per day, plus on average a minimum of 20 minutes in payroll time. This does not include the time the driver stopped to do, what it was they drove off route to do.
A driver doing this 5 days a week, will cost you an additional $270 per month in excessive fuel usage. Add to this the time wasted by the driver that was allocated to their payroll and you can really see how this could add up. Our GPS Fleet Management systems will monitor traveled routes, including start/stop locations and times.
3. Excessive Idling:
For every hour a vehicle is idling, a gallon of gas is consumed. Moreover, excessive idling causes unnecessary wear and maintenance on engines, an expense that can be easily monitored and reduced or even eliminated with one of our GPS Fleet management systems.
You Can't Measure, What You Don't Monitor. Our GPS Fleet management system will allow you to monitor, measure and correct excessive speeding, off route driving and excessive idling across your entire fleet.
