Transport Companies Love New GPS Devices
New GPS devices are giving vehicle fleet companies more power than ever before. Sat Navs and GPS tools of old could only let the driver know about their locations, which directions to take and speed etc. New GPS tools however are a great deal more powerful and can send this information out to a receiving computer anywhere on earth, which is pretty neat. A taxi company or Ford van leasing business for instance would benefit enormously. Let’s look at the main advantages of these GPS systems
Speeding. Operators can now see the speeds of the vehicle as well as the person driving. A number of the top devices even tell you if the vehicle is being accelerated or braked too hard. This is great for reducing poor driving standards among the fleet and promoting safe practice
Petrol. Before GPS there was always a risk that drivers, especially in the van leasing game, would claim petrol money from their employers for miles that were covered whilst not on work hours. The tachometer could always be looked at but this only showed the miles traveled and doesn’t say when and where. Now however, there can be no arguments as employer can see the exact route drivers took, when they took it and at what speed. They can even pick up traffic reports
Location. One of the best advantages of an operator knowing exactly where is member of their fleet is, is that they can respond to call out and pick-ups etc much faster. Calls don’t now have to put out to all drivers to discover their current position, the operator can simply check their computer and dispatch the vehicle which is closest.
