Identify Drivers Who Pad Hours with GPS Tracking

One of the benefits of GPS fleet tracking software is that it can help identify drivers that pad hours or make unneeded stops throughout the day. It may not always seem like a big deal if drivers make an extra stop here and there, but when it happens consistently, it can take a hit to your bottom line. It’s your right to know if drivers are working when they say they are and if they are wasting company fuel performing personal errands.

With an advanced fleet tracking solution, like GPS Insight, only pay employees for actual time worked by eliminating falsified time sheets. By viewing reports, you can see the drive time of every vehicle in your fleet, including every stop, to determine hours worked. Monitor route efficiency reports to analyze if drivers are taking the quickest routes to jobsites. This is not only a way for drivers to pad a few extra hours a week, it also increases fuel costs.

It may not seem like a big deal when a driver takes a small detour every now and then, but it becomes a much bigger problem when you realize it is causing your business to lose money. CLICK HERE to learn more about how GPS fleet tracking software can reduce unnecessary labor and fuel costs.
