If you’re in the equipment rental business, you don’t need any help to know that it can operate at a hectic pace at times and the smallest details can be lost through the cracks for months at a time before you notice. GPS tracking can help you get a better handle on those fine details and so much more. These are just a few of the benefits GPS tracking has to offer your equipment rental company.

Ensure Timely Deliver of Your Rental Equipment

This is a bigger issue than you may realize. With some communities expanding rapidly, old maps are no longer relevant and new areas and neighborhoods might not even show up on the maps you already have. With GPS fleet tracking, you get access to the latest map updates and turn by turn directions, so your deliveries make it to the right location every time. More importantly, you can offer highly accurate appointment windows based on the schedule of your daily deliveries thanks to GPS navigation that can help you route around traffic delays, weather, and more.

Improve Billing Accuracy

With GPS to serve as a billing guide for drop offs and pick ups of rental equipment, you can improve accuracy in a way that wasn’t always possible when you relied on drivers to do the record-keeping. If there are disputes from customers, GPS data offers proof of deliveries and collections, so they can be confident that you’re not trying to take advantage of them if questions do arise.

Schedule Maintenance

Routine maintenance is essential for extending the life of your rental equipment. It is especially important since the people who rent the equipment may not be as careful with said equipment as they would be if they owned it. GPS tracking allows you to automate the scheduling of routine maintenance ensuring that it gets down and keeping your equipment in excellent operating order, thus making you more money, longer.

Discourage Thievery

Most of the equipment you rent out is expensive equipment that people don’t necessarily want to buy. Unfortunately, they may not be overly eager to return the equipment either. Some may even try to sell it for a quick profit. GPS tracking allows you to find your equipment – substantially increasing the likelihood of recovering your equipment if it is sold or just stolen.

As you can see, GPS tracking has much to offer your rental equipment company. These are just a few quick examples. The big question you need to ask is why you aren’t using it yet.

On the roadways, your drivers represent your business. The actions of your drivers greatly affect public opinion about your business and can have a direct impact on where people turn for their business needs. Regardless of the industry you’re in, if your drivers are driving recklessly or irresponsibly, you are losing customers and potential business. That is one reason so many companies took to using bumper stickers and vehicle signs asking drivers on the roads to call in and report about drivers.

The Fatal Flaw with the Bumper Sticker Idea

In theory it’s a great idea. The problem is that most drivers today either don’t want to be bothered with calling in to report on other drivers or they believe it’s none of their business and they should keep their thoughts to themselves. You’re relying on other people to monitor your drivers for you and that really doesn’t work.

They’re still forming negative opinions about your business based on the actions of drivers in both cases, they’re just not going out of their way to tell you about it. In fact, the only time reports are made are when drivers cross the line from aggressive or reckless into the territory of outright dangerous.

By then, you’re risking accidents, lawsuits, and a real reputation crisis. The bottom line is that waiting on the public to tell you how your drivers are doing is not an effective tool for measuring driver behavior. Since you can’t follow your drivers around all day to monitor their actions on the road you must seek other alternatives to get the information you need about your drivers.

A Sensible Solution

The solution is one that is simple, doesn’t rely on public response, and highly effective. The solution is to make use of GPS fleet tracking. Fleet tracking monitors your drivers and reports back to you for a wide variety of on-the-road transgressions, including:

• Speeding
• Hard Braking
• Fast Acceleration
• Swerving
• Weaving
• Distracted Driving
• Route Deviations
• After-Hour Use of Company Vehicles

In fact, you can identify the behaviors you want it to report and how you want it reported (text message, email, etc.). The great thing about tools like this, is that they allow you to look for signs of consistent driver behaviors.

It’s one thing for drivers to react to events on the road, it’s another thing to have a pattern of these reckless or aggressive driving actions. Receiving these notifications from a GPS fleet tracking system allows you to address these patterns among your employees before they become bigger problems for your business than a reputation hit.
