Lower fuel costs, reduced overtime and increased efficiencies and eliminating side jobs are no longer just a competitive advantage. They are vital to compete in today’s business world!

Ask yourself:

Do you know where your vehicles are at 24x7x365?
Do you know where your mobile or remote employees are at any time during their workday?
Do you know what time they started and finished their day?
Do you know when they arrived at their scheduled appointments?

Scenario	Your customer says you didn’t treat her lawn on Monday, as scheduled.
What does the tracking report indicate?	The report indicates your technician arrived at 10:58 a.m. on Monday and was onsite for 34 minutes before his vehicle was re-started and he departed for his next appointment. A repeat appointment and re-treatment was not necessary. She is pleased with your professional response and refers neighbors for service.

Scenario	Your mobile employee reported that their day began at 8:00 a.m. and ended at 6:30 p.m.
What does the tracking report indicate?	The report indicates that they started their work vehicle, in front of their house, at 9:10 a.m. Their work vehicle was started and left the job site at 4:40 p.m. You confront your employee with the information and the time card is adjusted. You saved more than two hours of fraudulent overtime, and the employee is conscientious and happy to be given a second chance.

Scenario	Your best employee completed all seven deliveries as scheduled.
What does the tracking report indicate?	The report indicates that your employee completed all seven deliveries as scheduled, in very good time. However, the Idle Time Report indicates the employee left the vehicle idling for an average of 26 minutes at each stop to keep the vehicle cool. This is approximately 3 hours of idle time per day, 15 hours per week, or 63 hours per month. At current fuel prices, this is hundreds of dollars.

INTERESTING STATISTICS
US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY*

LABOR COSTS:

15 minutes per day represent 3% of an 8-hour day. Ten drivers wasting 15 minutes per day at .00 per hour represents ,240 annually.

SPEED / HORSEPOWER:

Analysis of road experience indicates the ideal speed for the average treuck is 50-55 MPH. The power required to increase speed multiplies exponentially:

• 73% more horsepower to cruise at 60 MPH
• 159% more horsepower to cruise at 70 MPH

SPEED / FUEL COSTS:

Research indicates that each MPH above 50 MPH increases fuel consumption by 1.5%. A truck, which averages 8 MPG at 50 MPH will average 6.8 MPG at 60 MPH.

SPEED / MAINTENANCE COSTS:

Gears, bearings, clutches, suspension and drive trains all wear much faster at higher speeds. Increasing speed from 50 MPH to 60 MPH increases maintenance costs by 38%. Increasing the speed from 50 MPH to 70 MPH increases cost by 80%.

IDLING:

Idling causes TWICE as much damage as driving. One hour of idling is equivalent to between 80 minutes and 120 minutes of driving time. The resulting loss of fuel economy from excessive idling can add up to 800 gallons of fuel annually for the average truck.

(Approximately ,680 per vehicle – 800 gallons x .60 per gallon of fuel)
