It was estimated that 1 in 4 car crashes involved a cell phone. While fleet companies can't control what other drivers outside the company are doing, fleet owners can utilize GPS tracking system to help reduce car accident from within their business.

Did you know that speeding can be monitored via a GPS tracking system? It's as simple as setting up an alert in a matter of minutes. If a fleet driver goes above a designated speed, an alert will be sent to management via email or text. Knowing this information can help drivers to correct their behaviors on the road and become safer, overall. GPS tracking system can also be used to eliminate the need for a cell phone while driving.
