Today, with GPS transmitters attached to each fleet vehicle, a manager can track the entire fleet in real time.

Until the availability of GPS systems, the only solution to managing a fleet of trucks was for the truck drivers to check in at frequent intervals to give status reports. While most drivers might evidence reliability, a fleet manager could never be absolutely sure about what was going on in the field. Today, with GPS transmitters attached to each fleet vehicle, a manager can track the entire fleet in real time. With so much at stake in terms of vehicles, employees, and cargo, the real question fleet managers must ask themselves is whether they can afford to not use GPS tracking.

GPS tracking devices are especially useful in combating the misuse of company vehicles. They do so in two different ways: first, by monitoring the drivers' positions, the fleet manager can make sure that drivers stay on their assigned routes; and second, by obtaining data on speed and mileage, the fleet manager can make sure trucks are not being physically abused.

GPS tracking systems conveniently bring a fleet spread across the country into the comfort of your home or office. This level of control means a significant competitive edge, greater customer service and satisfaction, and a tangible result in your bottom line.
