Agency drivers are an expensive way of getting the necessary staff to do the work at hand. Agency staff cost more for a few reasons. One, they simply cost more to hire as you have to pay the agency as well as for the driver themselves. Also agency drivers can often have a cavalier attitude to the work at hand. They will not always do the job properly. They can often let you down at the last minute. They are often not as well trained or know the routes or the ins and outs of the job as well.
It is always wise to cut down on the number of agency staff you use. This is where vehicle tracking can help. One of the big reasons you often need agency staff is to finish the work your own staff did not finish themselves within their standard hours. Another reason is to give a helping hand to your own staff. With vehicle tracking you can increase productivity considerably. By increasing the productivity you decrease the amount of work left over for agency staff. The less work there is for agency staff to do, the less agency staff you need.
Vehicle tracking increases productivity by cutting down on skiving, time wasting and by introducing efficient route planning.
