No longer a gimmick - GPS is a cost-saving
business tool.
Knowing
the location of any truck offers the company several advantages. It goes
without saying that drivers who are aware of the data provided are less likely
to plan errands, or stop at ATMs or stores on the way to a service appointment.
Even more valuable is the theft deterrent value. A truck is less likely to be
stolen if the potential thief knows or suspects the truck has a GPS tracking
unit installed. Since the location of the truck could be determined at any
moment, law enforcement personnel could rapidly retrieve the missing truck.
