GPS Tracking for Work Vehicles
24 Dec 2024If your company relies on work vehicles to make deliveries or drive to job sites, you understand that while you need work vehicles to get the job done, they create unique challenges, headaches, and costs.
A few common challenges and costs associated with work vehicles include:
Fuel costs
Maintenance and repair costs
Insurance costs
Driver behavior
Vehicle theft and time theft
Late deliveries or arrivals leading to customer service issues
All of these factors pose serious obstacles to the success of your business. Although some are unavoidable like fuel and insurance costs, all of these factors can be helped with the implementation of GPS trackers in your work vehicles.
Reduce Fuel Costs
GPS trackers help drivers and dispatchers find the best and shortest routes to their destinations, with real-time updates. They can also help with route planning when you are trying to find the best routes for your vehicle fleet.
This helps to cut down on time spent on the road and can save you significantly on fuel.
Decrease Maintenance and Repair Costs
Similar to how GPS tracking devices can save you money on fuel by reducing the time spent on the road, this will also reduce the wear and tear on your vehicles.
Additionally, have you ever missed maintenance schedules or had a vehicle break down on the road? Keeping track of maintenance and ensuring vehicles are always in good shape is an unnecessary burden. GPS tracking can monitor maintenance schedules and alter you whenever a vehicle is due, ensuring your vehicles always stay in good shape.
Lower Insurance Premiums
Many insurance companies will offer lower premiums for the same coverage when you use GPS tracking in your work vehicles.
Driver Behavior
When drivers are out on the road, you can’t be sure how they’re driving. Poor driving behavior puts themselves and others at risk on the road, can damage your company’s reputation, and it can waste fuel and wear down your vehicle.
GPS tracking allows you to monitor all of your drivers whenever they’re in the car. You can see how fast they’re going, where they are, and if they’re accelerating or braking too fast.
Target Theft
GPS tracking is a great way to improve vehicle recovery in the case of theft and deter or catch time thieves.
If a vehicle is stolen, you can help authorities locate your vehicle ASAP thanks to the GPS tracking device.
Furthermore, you can see where and when drivers are at all times, ensuring they are clocking in and out at the right times and not taking long breaks during the day.
Increase Customer Satisfaction
GPS tracking helps to optimize routes and route planning and avoid traffic, closed roads, or poor weather conditions. This helps to ensure that drivers aren’t late. Furthermore, dispatchers can provide accurate ETAs thanks to the real-time location of the GPS tracking device, improving customer satisfaction.
