Once upon a time, there a huge paper trail, filled with well-documented maintenance histories and records was required to get warranty companies to honor the warranties of fleet vehicles. If one “I” wasn’t dotted, or “T” was left uncrossed, that was all she wrote. It could be pure madness to try to gather all the required documents and if one was missing, the request was denied.
That is no longer the case. GPS tracking provides you with an iron-clad record of all your maintenance and service logs suitable to satisfy the terms of even the stingiest warranty agencies. This is great news for you as it means you can breathe a little easier and no longer have to chase down a long list of professionals to make sure you have appropriate documents (at least related to maintaining and servicing your vehicles).
Helps You Stay On Top of Routine Maintenance
Not only does GPS tracking help you keep up-to-date records of all your maintenance efforts, it also helps you schedule those routine maintenance tasks that may void your warranty if left unattended. Or, even if you take too long between servicing your vehicle for the company’s liking.
You can set your GPS fleet tracking services to automatically schedule required preventative maintenance such as:
- Oil changes
- Tire pressure checks
- Tire rotation
Environmental Benefits from GPS Fleet Tracking
23 Apr 2019GPS fleet tracking is about so much more than getting directions. It offers many benefits for the planet businesses today are seeking to embrace. With increasing consumer concerns over global warming and carbon footprints, it makes sense for businesses to consider the following, planet-friendly benefits from GPS tracking as well.
Here are just a few of the environmental benefits of GPS fleet tracking:
Reduces Fossil Fuel Consumption
Fossil fuels are not only limited resources that will, one day, run out. The refining process required to transform them into usable fuel for vehicles creates harmful emissions that are highly destructive.
GPS routing allows you to create more fuel-efficient routes for your vehicles to take to reach their destination. This reduces the miles they travel and the amount of time they spend on the road. The correlating reduction in fossil fuel consumption and vehicle emissions can have a massive impact on the environment. In a great way.
Teen Driving Statistics
22 Apr 2019The statistics surrounding teen driivng accidents, injuries and death are alarming. Every hour, around 30 teenagers become injured in a vehicle crash that involves an inexperienced driver, reports the National Safety Council. Seven will die each day in these crashes.
Vehicle crashes are the top cause of young adult fatalities and the numbers are increasing. Teenage drivers are almost three times more likely to be in a fatal crash than drivers 20 years old or older. These are just some startling statistics on teen driving by the National Safety Council.
Other statistics are:
- Over 2,800 teenagers in total ages 13 through 19 died in 2016 in vehicle crashes.
- Fifty-six percent of the deaths in 2016 among passenger occupants of vehicles were drivers between the ages 16 and 19.
- Among teens in 2016, 53 percent of vehicle crash-related deaths occurred over a weekend.
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety conducted research showing drivers between 16 and 17 years old are nine times more likely than adults to be involved in a vehicle accident and six times more likely than adults to be involved in a deadly crash.
