GPS Tracking of Construction Vehicle Fleets Helps Maintain Profitability

摘要

A growing number of construction managers are turning to GPS tracking of their fleet vehicles to ensure better construction management logistics and clear driver accountability. This allows optimal, profitable use of construction vehicles, equipment, and labor for each job, as well as safer driving. "We use GPS tracking to know where our equipment is so we can quickly get it to the next jobsite," says Robert Hanneman, Business Development/Fleet Manager at Chelsea, OK-based K&D Construction Services, a specialty foundation contractor serving the utilities market in a six-state area with a full suite of construction foundation services. "We use it when we schedule which jobs need which pieces of equipment to ensure that everybody gets what they need and nothing extra. It also helps us keep our drivers safe and accountable for their driving."
