GPS Tracking Cameras Generate Quantifiable ROI
The cornerstone of a thorough, compliant fleet management solution starts with GPS tracking cameras. GPS fleet tracking solutions started growing in popularity even before ELD requirements mandated the elimination of paper logbooks. Why? Because the return on investment (ROI) is almost immediate. Depending on the industry, most companies report recouping the full cost of a GPS fleet tracking platform in the first month of use. Implementing cost-effective fleet dash cams can further enhance your fleet’s efficiency and safety measures.
From promoting the betterment of customer relations to amplifying the productivity of drivers and facilitating more efficient routes, the right fleet management solution plays a starring role in streamlining operations. It is a source of measurable ROI — from the technology investment and the impact of savings generated from everyday business tasks.
Reduce Costs and Improved Productivity
The biggest benefit of having GPS tracking cameras is the improved productivity of your drivers and field workers. With TrackNet’s system, the location of your work crews and equipment is always known. With that information, you will reduce costs since you can deploy your teams more effectively and get rid of wasted drive time.Â
Further, by tracking your vehicles and consistently reviewing driver logs, you’ll experience improved compliance by your drivers. Most companies see increased productivity of at least 10 percent.Â

Improved Productivity
An estimated $90 billion is spent on diesel fuel by the U.S. trucking industry each year. Fuel is the second biggest expense after labor costs. The constant fluctuation of price and usage makes fuel one of the toughest expenses to manage. While no business owner can prevent fuel rates from rising, advances in fleet management tracking technology have made complete fuel oversight possible. Lowering fuel costs is a big savings opportunity you will realize when you use GPS tracking cameras. Being able to more efficiently route your vehicles in combination with improved compliance from your drivers can result in quantifiable fuel savings of 5-20 percent.
Driver Footage Combined with Speed Reporting / Alerts and other GPS Features
Another big benefit of GPS tracking is the ability to monitor driving speed. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, every 5 mph driven over a 55-mph speed limit costs 24 cents more per gallon of fuel used. If every vehicle in your fleet averages 10 mph over this speed, and fuel costs $2.75 per gallon, that’s a 17.45 percent cost overrun.
Speeding is also a safety hazard and can increase wear and tear on a vehicle. Most fleet management GPS tracking systems can not only report a vehicle’s speed but can also alert you automatically when speed thresholds have been surpassed. Companies that use a fleet tracking system have reported that they reduce costs and accidents when they used it to track speed.

In our experience there will always be SOME resistance to dash cams. By establishing trust upfront with your drivers, you can defuse pushback and keep your drivers motivated while they are on the road.
It’s important to explain how the fleet dash cams work and how they will not be monitored each and every second they are on the road. Most of the time footage will only be reviewed if there is a safety-triggered event. Doing trial runs with a select few drivers before the dash cams are installed across your entire fleet can also help set a positive precedent. They can relay their experiences with the other drivers and let them know what to expect going forward.
Finally, it’s imperative to let your drivers know about corrective actions that will take place if safety protocols are broken. Having guidelines that distinguish between verbal / written warning vs employee termination is important so your drivers are not blindsided when coaching opportunities arise.
Information superimposed onto the vehicle video includes date, speed traveled, and latitude / longitude coordinates.
