Fleetistics

Fleetistics is defined as "Statistical analysis, for business purposes, of commercial fleet vehicle operations". It is a term we coined to encompass the study of fleet operations to find inefficiencies. I'm such a believer that in today's business environment you have to study every aspect of your fleet for inefficiency. When every nickel counts, you better know where you are wasting money and sometimes you have to spend a dime to save a dollar. (Read More)


Seatbelt Safety

Traffic crashes are the leading cause of on the job fatalities in America.

A typical driver in the US travels 12,000 to 15,000 miles annually, and has a one in fifteen chance of being involved in a vehicle collision each year. However, most fleet drivers travel 25,000 miles or more each year and thusly have a greater exposure to crash risks. (Read More)


Return on Investment Tip

There are many significant opportunities to increase the efficiency, accountability, productivity, and profitability of your organization. Improvements to these areas will lead to an increase in profitability in as little as 30-days in many cases. Almost all of the benefits may be applied to any service, delivery, or sales organization with fleet vehicles.

Verify the accuracy of time cards. This is generally a key area for improvement. Most companies recover their monthly fee and the cost of their vehicle unit from this one factor alone in the first 3-6 months. Have your administrator compare the GPS start-stop report to the time cards since the unit has been installed. Determine what the average margin of error is and then compare that to the time cards before you installed our GPS system. It might pay for itself this month.
