Welcome to the new home of my GPS Tracking blog. Blogger has given me fine service and gotten me throughly bitten by the “blog Bug” but I decided to move to my own dedicated server in anticipation of future growth,
Today I’d like to mention a great fleet manager resource, Business Fleet magazine. The current issue features a rundown on the latest trends in wireless location and telematics for the real-world fleet manager.
If you don’t read the whole issue (free subscription or read on line), I suggest you ate the least read the Op Ed by Chris Brown … Welcome to the Wireless Revolution.

Chris speaks with authority and he isn’t a salesman trying to sell a particular product. The fuel prices have hurt many this last quarter of 2005 and I don’t see any magic bullet that will make 2006 any better. Read, learn and apply the modernization that fits your operation.

If anyone would like to know about any gPS fleet tracking systems please contact me. I have installed 7000 from all just about all mfg.

Thanks, Bill. I haven’t dome 7,000 yet, but I’ve done a lot, including hundreds for some of the Air Force’s critical missions. These guys were hard to convince, especially because money to a commander is always a zero-sum game. He doesn’t get to keep savings, so he’s not highly motivated for savings.
However, they found fantastic savings .. at one base they had 7 times the number of vehicles doing a certain mission than they did at another base of the same size. 7 and 8 to one differences like that are common, even in small commercial fleets.
Best regards
