How Junk Removal Companies Can Benefit from GPS Tracking
19 Aug 2015GPS tracking provides invaluable services and tools for junk removal companies – many you may not even realize. If you’re like most junk removal businesses, you’re already using GPS tracking for navigation. Today’s GPS fleet tracking services offer so much more than simple directions to out of the way locations.
More Efficient Routing
In addition to planning days according to helping route traffic from one job to the next, GPS fleet tracking allows dispatchers to plan drivers’ routes for an entire day according to the most efficient route for fuel and labor costs.
It might not seem like that big of a deal at first glance, but it can save junk removal companies a great deal of money on fuel, labor, and vehicle maintenance year after year. Over time, these savings add up to higher wages for employees and bigger profits for your junk removal business.
Improves Record Keeping
How many times have you had to chase drivers around begging for logs and records so that you can handle billing, file the appropriate papers with local or state authorities, or even take care of payroll and tax obligations? It can be one of the most frustrating aspects of owning a junk removal company.
Did you know that GPS telematics systems can automate this process for your junk removal franchise? Not only can they record logs of miles driven by specific drivers, but it can also keep up with electronic invoices, collect customer signatures for things like liability waivers, expense reports, and damage reports as needed and then transmit them to you at the end of every driver’s shift.
Increases Safety
Not only does fleet tracking allow you to monitor driver behavior in real time, but you can also set it up to send you alerts whenever fleet vehicles drive over the speed limit, deviate from their routes, or engage in other unsafe behaviors you designate.
Additionally, the fact that drivers know they’re being monitored encourages, subconsciously, an extra effort to drive safely and courteously at all times because drivers know you can monitor their activities at any time while on the road.
One more nod to safety a good GPS tracking system has to offer is the ability to track and schedule routine maintenance of all fleet vehicles. When junk removal trucks are properly maintained they will be safer to operate and they will last longer – which also helps to save your business big money by getting an extra year or more out of fleet vehicles.
Added Security for Trucks
Don’t forget the importance of security for the vehicles themselves. Trucks that can handle the heavy loads you’re tasked with on a daily basis often cost a great deal of money. Protect that investment by using GPS tracking systems for real time location updates. In the event of a theft, you’ll know exactly where your truck is and be able to greatly improve the odds of a vehicle recovery.
