Reduce or eliminate after hours vehicle and equipment use.

Reduce or eliminate unauthorized after hours use, nights, weekends “moonlighting” with your equipment and rolling assets.

Verify accurate start, stop time. Verify stops at customer locations and time spent.

Stop abuse of your valuable assets. I had a service technician that was an excellent technician. However he was also into dog shows. He would use my van to transport his dog to regional shows. I also suspected that he was working on the side. Without GPS I could not prove anything.

Take control of your vehicles.

Please share your experiences with GPS and how it stopped employee abuse.

Snowplow season is on its way in Ohio, so lets get the reporting system ready

gpsinti — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:34:16 +0000

It is time to check out the GPS tracking and reporting system for all city Snowplows. We need to upgrade the server and database as we get ready to roll. Next step is to check out the interface to the Force America Model 5100 Electronic Controller and insure it will show the correct status on our reports.

Track Truck Trailers on the Web for $4-20/mo…

Get the last known location on the web. We are willing to suspend tracking for a couple of months to help your ROI. If the trailer is not hooked up to power (brake lights) and is supposed to be immobile you can notify us to suspend tracking. We will reduce the monthly fee to $4/mo. If the trailer is hooked up to power we can notify you by email that it is “started” and begin tracking immediately.
What do you think? Excellent for seasonal lawn care or livestock trailers.

What do you use to calculate your cost per vehicle?

Do you keep track of repair, mainenance and annual insurance per vehicle?

Do you have “spare” vehicles?

gps passive (with no monthly fee) and Live solutions from GEOTAB

The common misperception is that GPS is expensive.

The basic GPS solution on a GEOTAB installation will start generating payback through idle time monitoring and a reduction in fuel costs, administration assistance in fuel tax admin for qualifying fleets, reduction in self-insured liability, accurate billing and payroll based on distance and/or time stamps and reduction in premature engine and vehicle wear by reducing mileage and engine hours.

The fast changing pace of communications networks is quickly driving down the cost of the real time components.

With GEOTAB – cellular airtime is not necessary for all fleet vehicles. GEOTAB supports both passive (with no monthly cellular or air time data fee) and Live (cellular and data fee) solutions that are combined for one organization.

GEOTAB allows fleets to pay for the technology through real and tangible savings – and then build on the successful deployment as required and as budgets allow.

Construction Site Trailer and Equipment gone

Ever show up at your construction site ready to work and the CAT and the Trailer it was sitting on are gone?

Got a call from a contractor at WPAFB (Wright Patterson Air Force Base) his subcontractor showed up at the site and the CAT was gone. True Story.

With GPS we could have located the trailer and its CAT. Our units are hidden on the trailer they use the brake light power to run the GPS and communicate with our web site. At least we would have had a shot at recovery.

Charge employees for after hour use of Company vehicles

emilh — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:26:22 +0000

I had a request from a contractor for an after hour and weekend usage report.

I get those request a lot, as you can imagine with $4.00 gas, what was unique about the request is he wants to bill back the employee for personal use. It turns out that this can pay for the entire system, and still give the contractor accurate billing and trip reporting. What do you think of this approach?

Any better ideas to recover cost of personal use?
