Hood Cleaners And GPS

If you are a hood cleaner this happen all the time – you set a time and a date and the account is a NO Show. I have solved the problem, each of my trucks have GPS Units that collect data on stops, starts, speed, location, times and date plus more. On Thurs I had a job set for 10:30PM and the account was locked and everyone gone. I called the next day and I could tell the account was going to say “why you didn’t clean the hoods”-I informed him that we were “at the location at 10:30 and waited until 10:45”. I could tell that he did not believe me-the I said “would you like to review the GPS report” – I thought he was going to melt. He stated that he would like a copy because he will give them a letter of for their file. I would bet that I use this once a month if not more-great tool. Then I add a trip charge to boot.:) :rolleyes:
 
I have had to do the same thing a few times as well.
 
The problem with the Nextel GPS is that it is a phone and does not stay with the truck and the truck GPS does not have to be turned on-when the truck starts it starts working. My employees know that the trucks have GPS but they do not know the location of the units. You also get a big break on insurance with the unit. When I know the location of the truck the employees should be close by.

If you go to the Post regarding “Stolen Trailer I gave the info. On my GPS Unit
