Why Is That Truck In Tijuana?

Here’s an outfit you might want to take a look at if, if finding out that one of your trucks sent the night in Tijuana gives you a sense of uneasiness.

The company is called VehiclePath and they are located in San Diego, California.  Unlike do many people in this business I find it refreshing that their prices and monthly service fees are readily available … and very reasonable too, I might add, based on a lot of years I have already invested in this business.

Here’s a couple quotes from their website that echo the things I have been saying about the value of GPS tracking for years … these come straight from business owners who are out there where the rubber meets the roads:

"I thought my company was running efficiently. Boy was I wrong! Many drivers were wasting time at coffee breaks and doing errands. Tracking their movements has increased the time on job by at least 25%!!!!!"
Leon Y

"Man working for me was doing 6 pools on the side. One he was doing for over two years. After I dimissed him he admitted this to one of my employees. This savings more than pays for you services plus I have peace of mind."
Richard Ferguson, Brownies Pool Clinic
Sarasota, FL

In particular I get a kick out of Mr. Ferguson’s comment.  Side jobs.  Until a business tracks their service fleet they just don’t realize how prevalent this problem is.  Look at the facts.  At least 6 customers being ‘stolen’ by an employee for more than two years.

How any of your vehicles and driver/techs are working for themselves on your dime?
