There is nothing worse than having to deal with a vehicle that has been stolen. Unfortunately, in the fleet business this is more likely to happen to you, but how do we ensure this doesn’t happen or the likelihood reduced?
Vehicle tracking systems are definitely the way forward in reducing these crimes. It has recently been reported that a stolen truck had been recovered in a matter of hours. It was said that the truck was stolen from Interwest Construction Inc. on a Monday night and notice early on the Tuesday morning, whilst the police were being called the fleet manager was able to use the Fieldlogix vehicle tracking system to locate the exact whereabouts of the truck and pass this information onto the police. The vehicle was recovered and returned to the company within a few hours.
If all fleet companies used vehicle tracking systems for their fleets the reduction of vehicles being stolen and shipped out of the country before it is notified as stolen will be clearly shown.
The hassle and time that these systems save fleet managers is vast and I am sure that they would appreciate that less forms will need to be completed if the vehicles are recovered, all positive point as to why vehicle tracking systems help improve fleet management.
