Fleet tracking is one of those things that may not be foremost on your mind…until one of your trucks are missing. While theft recovery is one of the main reasons fleet tracking makes sense, it’s not the only benefit that comes along with the service.

Fleet tracking is an automated way of keeping up with your line of trucks. There are various types of fleet tracking services. Most use GPS and software and the results are available in real time or near real time.

Fleet tracking can be implemented on big rigs and on commercial work trucks such as Box Trucks, Boom Trucks, and Flatbeds. No matter what type of fleet you have, tracking the trucks is definitely worth checking into – sooner rather than later. 

Fleet tracking has become very popular in recent years as a way to recover stolen vehicles and [...]

If you purchase a commercial work truck, new or used, it’s a given – you’ll need service and maintenance.  When it’s time to have your vehicle tended to, it’s nice to have the service available at the dealership.  Here’s why:

You don’t want to trust your truck to just anyone.  Taking it to the dealership where you purchased it from guarantees you’ll have professionals working on it because they are certified.  Plus, you can bet your dealership wants your return business. 

If you have a vehicle that’s covered by a warranty, to benefit from the warranty, you’ll need to take it to the designated place of service.  Repairs made at the dealership that are under warranty will make it free of charge.  Being able to take it straight to their parts and service department makes the process a smooth and easy one.

March showers bring May flowers and…WIND!  In most parts of the U.S., if it’s springtime, it’s windy. Seventy-four percent of all fatal passenger vehicle crashes involve a medium-duty or large truck.  Many of those accidents are due to bad weather such as snow, ice, rain, and wind. You might not think that wind is a culprit for medium-duty commercial trucks such as Box Trucks, Flatbeds, and Dump Trucks, but it is very dangerous.  Try operating a Bucket Truck on a gusty day and you’ll see what a problem high wind can be.

• Losing control of the wheel
• Trailers blowing around
• Doors blowing off the hinges
• Other vehicles losing control
• Damage from debris flying onto your windshield

Wind in your “sail area” poses a problem, no matter [...]
