A lot of miles can equal a lot of cost

By the very nature of the business, haulage companies are incredibly sensitive to fluctuating fuel costs and unplanned vehicle maintenance. While fuel is an unavoidable expense, there are many ways it can be reduced. Through comprehensive reports that detail instances of idling, speeding and excessive acceleration, Haulage fleet managers can quickly address bad practices that lead to unnecessary fuel use and maximise on every tank.

Having a vehicle off the road translates directly to lost earnings. And with vehicles potentially travelling hundreds of miles a day, what starts as a small issue can very quickly become a big – and costly – one. Fleet management solutions can alert fleet managers when vehicles are due for routine maintenance, flagging any engine fault codes immediately, enabling the fleet manager to better plan around required maintenance.

Monitor safe driving like you’re there in the cab

With your drivers often out of sight, gaining peace of mind that they are driving responsibly and within the legal limits can be challenging. With GPS fleet truck tracking, you can easily see whether poor driving habits are putting your drivers, your vehicles and other road users at risk. From speeding to excessive breaking, poor driver behaviour can result in serious consequences, and with many vehicles often displaying large branding, your company’s reputation too could suffer irreparable damage.

And for haulage companies in particular, the many rules around tachograph often apply. Improper recording of tachograph data could not only be breaking the law but the risk of accidents increases dramatically when drivers work for long periods without breaks. Connect your compatible tachograph to our solution and enjoy unprecedented visibility of each drivers live tachograph status. Help make faster decisions, produce more accurate plans and get advanced warning of infringements.

Know instantly when something goes wrong

According to UK police force data, 1 in 10 stolen vehicles1 is company owned. That’s sobering reading for any fleet owner, particularly as ensuring the safety and security of your most valuable assets is not easy when they spend so much time away from the depot. In the event of a theft, not only will a GPS tracking solution alert fleet managers that the vehicle has been started, but it can then be tracked to its precise location and quickly recovered.
