GPS Tracking Can Help Counter Steep Fuel Costs

Posted on Wednesday 25 June 2008

Fans of Star Trek remember how Captains Kirk and Jean Luc Picard and their crews were able to beam themselves down to whatever planet they needed to visit. Whatever fuel the Starship Enterprise ran on, they were at least able to save some money on transportation costs by having workers beam themselves to their missions.

We’ll get there one day, but until then you still need fuel to run your business. At the moment oil is about $140 a barrel and the price is still rising. It may even get to be $200 a barrel.

According to Brad Borst of Rocky Mountain Tracking (RMT), “With RMT’s numerous GPS tracking features, you can look forward to thousands of dollars in fuel savings every month.”

By using a GPS tracking system to track routing, you can make sure company vehicles take the shortes routes. This is great for when you have planned ahead. But what happens when you need to have an employee make an unexpected stop?

NavIQ, RMT’s flagship product, allows users to enter a destination address, find the closest vehicle to that address, and view a detailed map and text routes, with an option to search by fastest route and shortest route.

Borst estimates that a company with an average fleet of 10 vehicles can save as much as $8,000 per month by using a GPS tracking device.

Speaking of saving fuel, it will take zero gallons of gas to zip over to RMT’s website and look at the various GPS tracking devices and service plans they have to offer.
