Monitor Your Vehicles

Modern security systems are capable of monitoring several zones or sensors simultaneously. For example, your alarm will be connected to your door’s pin wires. These same wires signal the dome light to turn on when a door is open. If the system detects a door is open, it will trigger the alarm instantly.

Many security systems include separate inputs for hood and trunk monitoring. Your installer may choose to use a pin switch on the hood or trunk, or a mercury switch. If your fleet vehicles have factory monitoring for the hood or trunk, those connections are often compatible with an aftermarket security system.

In general terms, securing and tracking your fleet vehicles will provide some tremendous benefits, primarily stemming from the fact that Global position monitoring virtually puts you right there in the truck yourself. You’ll have total control over your fleet of vehicles because you’ll be aware of their statuses at all times, and you can instantly make decisions that take current conditions into account.

You’ll notice over time that you have significantly increased productivity and that expenses are reduced in a major way.

Furthermore, as of December 18,2017, most business trucks became subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Electronic logging devices (ELD)  mandate.That means, besides reducing costs, for most commercial drivers, some form of electronic monitoring is the law.

Virtually everything which gets monitored by a global position monitoring system can help to save on fuel costs. For instance, ecessive driving speed is a big reason for high fuel usage, and when drivers maintain a slower and safer speed, far less fuel is used. There are a number of systems that provide automatic alertss when a driver is going too fast, and it cautions them to lower their speed. You can also use too much fuel when your vehicle is idling for long periods of time.

Some drivers have gotten into the habit of using their vehicles for a climate-controlled environment, and that will also run your fuel costs up. Any sound monitoring system will alert you when idle time gets to be excessive so that you can correct the situation. You can also save fuel by dispatching the closest vehicle to your job location, and this becomes possible with a good tracking system.

That will also save time by having the closest field vehicle dispatched so that customers will be happier and more satisfied.
