January 2008 Share a Story Winner!

Victor M. has won a free Navfly!

I purchased and installed my unit about 9 months ago. I did not tell any of the employee's that the unit was installed. It has proven to be one of the best pieces of equipment since I installed my first computer 25 years ago.
My truck driver was taking a long time to make deliveries and we had a high fuel comsumption. I couldn't put my finger on what he was doing.
Within the first few days of installing Vehiclepath, I got the answer. The driver was stopping at his house. He would make his last stop and drive 40,50, 60 miles out of his way to go home. He was speeding (speed alert) and getting the deliveries made as fast as he could. This way he could get 1-2 hours doing whatever he did at home.
By using the geofence I would set the alert to go off when he was within 200 feet of his house. We have customers in the area and if I would almost catch him in a lie he would just say he forgot to drop a product at the local customer near his house. Now I could see the truck in his driveway. When the alert went off I would call him and tell him that I know one of his neighbors and they had called me. Believe it or not, it took him three times to figure out I could see him somehow.
He no longer is with me, but I sure did save a lot of Fuel and Payroll with Vehiclepath.

Best Regards
Victor
