The rise and fall, the earnings and expenses, all of these are just a natural part of doing business. Of course, spending more than you need to be can take a toll on your fleet business and your bottom line. Have you ever thought about the money pit you're throwing your money into? Truthfully, if you're not using GPS tracking system for your fleets then there are numerous areas you're most likely wasting money. Some of the most costly endeavors stem from unnecessary fuel usage, idling, vehicle repairs and inefficient employees. Let's take a look at how you could be suffering without GPS tracking system.

Fuel usage: Without GPS tracking system you won't really know how fast drivers are driving, if aggressive driving is taking place or if harsh braking is a habit. These are all actions that burn fuel faster.

Idling: Leaving fleet trucks running idle for long periods of time forces the engine to operate inefficiently while increasing the need for maintenance. Without GPS tracking system you wouldn't have automatic data to tell you which drivers are idling excessively, causing your engines to eventually degrade and reduce mileage.

Vehicle repairs: Keeping up with vehicle maintenance is important. Without GPS tracking system to help you automatically schedule maintenance reminders, you're left to keep track of repairs manually via time consuming methods.

Inefficient employees: Do you know where your drivers are at throughout the whole day? How can you really be sure? Without the GPS tracking system, you don't have a digital, live map to actually see the location of all drivers.
