These alerts are powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/\">GPS tracking technology <\/a>and give you some insight into any problems with your vehicles and drivers. It can help you keep your drivers safe and know when their driving habits are putting them or others in danger. Tracking alerts also assist you in knowing exactly where the fleet goes during any given day, and can be a valuable cost-savings measure. While there are many different alerts you can receive, these three can be the most helpful for your business.<\/p>\n<p><b>1)<\/b>\u00a0 <b>Speeding Alert<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The first important alert that you get with fleet tracking is the speeding alert. There are two reasons you want to have the speeding alert for your fleet: safety and fuel consumption. The alert will let you know if and when drivers are going over the speed limit, and how often. When\u00a0 your drivers exceed the speed limit occurs on a regular basis, it is costing you or your business money in more fuel. You should also be concerned about safety, as driving at higher speeds puts your drivers and the general public in risk.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>2)<\/b>\u00a0 <b>Excessive Idling Alert<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Idling occurs when the vehicle has been sitting still, but with the engine turned on. Idling consumes fuel and costs your business money. In fact, for every hour the vehicle is idle, you are losing a gallon of gas. This adds up fast over time. Another thing to consider is the fact that idling can also cause more wear and tear on your fleet, requiring more maintenance. If a vehicle in your fleet is idling for long stretches of time, you will receive a text alert from the fleet tracking system, so you can put a stop to it.<\/p>\n<p><b>3)<\/b> <b>Off Route Driving Alert<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Driving off route by employees is necessary on some occasions, but should be avoided for the most part. There is no way to really know when and how often your drivers are going off their scheduled routes without this GPS-enabled fleet tracking system. Every time they go off route, they are spending more time getting to their next destination, not to mention the excess amount of fuel that is used. By keeping up with these extra trips, you can identify potential problems with certain drivers who tend to go off route a little too often.<\/p>\n<p>Fleet tracking alerts use GPS technology, so you know it is reliable and provided in real-time. The activity of your fleet is tracked according to your specifications, with alerts arriving by text or email. This helps you work on saving your company money and educating drivers on proper driving activity while operating your fleet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a fleet of vehicles for your business, you should also have fleet tracking alerts.
