The use of GPS auto tracker technology by
business fleet managers and private citizens is
growing daily. The savings in terms of
maintenance, labor, insurance and fuel cost are
enormous when applied correctly. Real time GPS
more than pays for itself the first day it is to
reduce the size of their fleets to increased
efficiency. Everyone knows that increased
efficiency means a better bottom line. However
there are additional benefits to using a real time
GPS system.
Recently a large electrical contractor that
operates more than 40 trucks over a 1000 square
mile area contracted and installed a real time GPS
auto tracker system in all of its vehicles. Most
employees are allowed to take their work vehicles
home after work. This saves the company both
fuel and labor cost each day. Many of the
employees felt that the company was playing big
brother and invading their privacy. Some even
suggested that they would leave once the system
was installed.
Once the tracking system was activated and the
fleet management staff trained in its use the
company began to find ways to cut costs.
Employees found that the system was not as
intrusive as they had envisioned. The application
of personnel and resources quickly began to
make the company more efficient and contracts
were being completed in less time. As a result the
company was able to bid on additional work.
This past November found another benefit to
using the GPS auto tracker technology that no
one at the company expected. After a normal day
of work one of the employees did not arrive home
for dinner at the normal time. His wife at first
passed this off as an extended work related
delay. After a couple of hours she tried calling
him on his cell phone but was told that the phone
was not in service. Later being worried she
called her husband’s supervisor to ask if he
knew where her husband was and of course he
did not stating that no one was working late.
Shortly after receiving the call the supervisor
went on line and downloaded the location map
provided by the GPS tracking Service Company.
He quickly found the missing vehicle located
along the Interstate highway. After calling the
missing employees cell phone several times
without an answer he went to investigate.
Using his laptop and GPS he drove to the exact
location that the tracking system had indicated.
However arriving on the scene no company truck
was located. The supervisor checked the tracking
information and even contacted the service
company for assistance. It was suggested that
the tracking device had become dislodged and
fallen from the vehicle at that location. Where
upon the supervisor took a flashlight and went to
look for it. Instead of finding the device his
flashlight reflected off the back of the company
vehicle lying upside down in the roadside ditch.
The missing man was trapped inside and was still
alive.
Emergency response personal arrived shortly
thereafter extricating the injured man taking him
to the hospital in serious condition. The
employee survived the accident and is recovering
at home. He hopes to return to work in the near
future. According to law enforcement and
emergency services personnel the employee
probably would not have survived if he had not
been found at the time he was discovered.
GPS auto tracker technology is designed to help
businesses and private citizens in managing their
vehicle resources. However as was discovered
here there are additional benefits that this
emerging technology provides. It can even save
lives.
