Yes, I hesitated before writing this one because it indeed could trun into a “who dun it”, taking the focus away from the management by measurement aspect of GPS tracking. But it’s just one illustration out of many that I see every week … all similar. Losses that happen because drivers are in the wrong place … intentionally or accidentally .. and management never gets to take action becuase they don’t know about the problem.

Actually I’ve just been working on a case here in the Philippines of the ‘accidental” variety that could have a huge dollar cost attached … and the driver wasn’t a crook or even conciously misbehaving, he was just doing something dumb and the boss never knew. I should write that one up. Be well, Dave

We DID just add inline maps to our exception reports, so now when a truck speeds, idles too long, is run outside of an acceptable time/area, you get an email/text message, along with a map of where that is (so it’s easier to discern if it’s an issue or not).

I have to wonder in a case like this though, with $200k+ at stake, if it was an “inside job…” — even it was, an unauthorized stop, outside of typical geo-fenced areas, might have prevented it.

As always, thanks for your GPS ROI insight.
