If your GPS tracking system isn’t easy to use, you won’t use it! However, when your tracking system is easy to use, and can be customized to meet your needs, you will realize fantastic savings!
Consider Palmetto State Transportation.
Palmetto State Transportation, in Greenville, NC, wanted to be certain the GPS tracking system they purchased would meet all of their needs. Partnering with Track What Matters, the team at Palmetto was able to determine their needs by testing with a single unit. Track What Matters implemented their requested features to make certain the system would work for them.
When Palmetto installed their first unit, they discovered that one of their trucks was idling for over 6 hours a day! At the time, diesel was at $4.79 per gallon. With an average consumption of 1 gallon per idling hour, that’s a cost of $28.74 in wasted fuel every working day. By simply talking to the driver and making him aware of the situation, Palmetto has been able to reduce the operation cost of that single vehicle by approximately $7,000 net per year. Since then, they have equipped the rest of the fleet.
