Ideas Regarding How To Keep Track Of Your Vehicle Fleet When They Are Out On The Road

By Ronn V Saas


I manage a car rental service catering primarily to travelers as well as locals who do not personally own vehicles. My company keeps a fleet of cars ranging from mainstream versions to high-end luxury models for our richer clients.

Not too long ago, the news outlets have been reporting that a gang of car thieves is at large inside our city, thus I thought it wise to take safety measures against car theft. I decided that I should invest in a few GPS for vehicle tracking to keep my cars protected.

Since my business is dependent upon the integrity of the fleet, I decided not to spare any expense in getting the most suitable solution available. For our luxury brand vehicles, I bought a number of high-end FleetTrak GPS real-time tracking system units.

GPS systems are suited for monitoring automobiles as they are able to pinpoint where an automobile is, to the closest address, as well as find out how much time was spent there. The information which they acquire may also be used by police officers to retrieve stolen vehicles.

The vehicle locator units monitored my very own fleet in real time and sent updates to my computer in 5-second time intervals. The gadgets on their own are bare, so I bought a special Pelican case to be able to hold and shelter them while within the car.

This casing was created with GPS equipment in mind and was waterproof, crush-proof, as well as dust-proof. Our less expensive units didn't need to have such comprehensive tracking features, so we equipped each one with a Barda live GPS tracker.

This particular tracking system drew power from a vehicle's OBD port, so we did not have to worry about maintaining any kind of batteries. Data from the tracker is delivered to my computer and is visible from a special Web-based interface.

Making use of GPS for vehicle tracking has provided me relief. Because of the tracking abilities which these types of locator gadgets offer, I'm not just able to monitor my automobiles but also give much better service to my customers.
