Government fleets are looking in every nook and cranny to find ways to save tax payer dollars. GPS Tracking is helping governments of all sizes save dollars on fuel costs and maintenance costs. In some cased they’ve saved enough money to avoid layoffs and furloughs.

One fleet of street sweepers was sweeping the entire city by working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 40 hours per week and utilized 8 sweepers to do the job and completing the city in 23 working days. They are now covering the same number of streets with 6 street sweepers and completing the job in 20 working days. The net result to the city is 2 fewer sweepers and 2 drivers reassigned to other tasks within the city. Can this fleet attribute this upswing in efficiency to GPS exclusively? Certainly not. The Manager did tell us that the only thing that was different from before was the installation of GPS.

One other city sends out crack sealing crews. These crews were completing crack sealing at the rate of 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 sq. ft. a year. In the 2 years after installing our GPS Tracking system, they are now projecting to do 25,000,000 sq. ft. of crack sealing this year and the only thing that changed is the utilization of GPS.

This same fleet manager unexpectedly created a competition with his crews. The end result is that the workers are enjoying their work more and have become much more productive.
