It\u2019s no secret that fleet safety is a popular topic around these parts. From safety plan implementation<\/a>, driver wellness<\/a>, innovative technology<\/a>, coaching<\/a> and more, we\u2019ve made safety a front-and-center topic because the industry has made ensuring drivers get home safely to their families every night its top priority, and is looking for solutions to improve. The better prepared fleets are to implement these safety solutions, the more success they will find.<\/p>\n As the leading fleet tech and telematics solutions company in the U.S., we know that evidence and actionable data are the keys to making good decisions. That\u2019s why we\u2019re sounding the horns around the release of the inaugural GPS Insight 2022 Fleet Safety Report<\/a>, a comprehensive look at how fleets of all sizes approach building a culture of safety and the technology solutions that help them get there.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=”Did you Know?” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” image_icon_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” image_icon_width=”36px” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|800|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_font_size=”29px” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”16px” body_link_font=”||||on||||” body_ul_text_color=”#275c8d” background_color=”#143f67″ image_icon_custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” image_icon_custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”50px|80px||80px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”50px|80px||80px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”50px|0px||0px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”30px|50px|40px|50px|false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For the report, we surveyed more than 3,400 fleet professionals<\/strong> to find out:<\/span><\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 The types of safety challenges fleets are up against, and the safety solutions they are using to meet their safety goals<\/p>\n ><\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The benefits fleets are realizing from these solutions, particularly from GPS tracking and dashboard cameras<\/p>\n ><\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The strategies in place to implement safety technologies in their fleet<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text admin_label=”Blog Title” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#275c8d” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#275c8d” header_2_font_size=”40px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||10px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”24″ header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_2_font_phone=”|600|||||||” header_2_font_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ text_font=”||||||||” link_font=”|700|||on||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In today\u2019s market, telematics solutions are an essential part of a company\u2019s safety program.

Drivers are safer when they have improved driver safety practices, as well as the protection of real-life video.<\/p>\n Exonerating drivers from false claims also helps reduce insurance costs and accident costs. Clearly, there are going to be incidents, but having evidence of what really happened gives businesses leverage.<\/p>\n Building a culture of safety among all team members ranks high on the list because when everyone is committed to the same goal, it makes the practice and execution easier.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Blog Title” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#275c8d” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#275c8d” header_2_font_size=”40px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||10px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”24″ header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_2_font_phone=”|600|||||||” header_2_font_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ text_font=”||||||||” link_font=”|700|||on||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n While there are clear benefits to prioritizing safety, fleet professionals cited an array of pain points that kept them from achieving their safety goals.

The issue lies with tracking their employees during off hours and weekends. Sales reps understandably don\u2019t want their employer having insight to what they do with their personal time.<\/p> The Garmin fleet 590<\/a> device can be taken out of the vehicle on evenings and weekends so that the invasion of privacy conversation goes right out the window.<\/p> The fact that the majority of GPS tracking software providers sell hardwire installed devices is a problem for companies with outside sales teams, like pharmaceutical companies, seeing as they usually lease vehicles. Fleet managers do not want the hassle that comes with messing with wiring on a vehicle they do not own. This would also make it cumbersome to move the devices from vehicle to vehicle as new reps leave and come on board or as vehicles get traded in.<\/p>[caption id=\"attachment_1989\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"] The Garmin fleet 590 device plugs into the cigarette lighter for power and ignition on\/off recognition. This device works perfectly for companies with leased vehicles, because all professional installation costs and downtime are eliminated.<\/p> With those 2 obstacles aside, GPS tracking software provides not only fleet managers with an array of benefits, but it also supplies sales managers of outside sales teams with powerful information, they wouldn\u2019t otherwise have, to help optimize sales operations.<\/p> GPS tracking software is a powerful tool for sales management and fleet management. Coupling the fleet 590 device with advanced GPS tracking software gives companies with outside sales teams what they need to take advantage of the many benefits and increase their bottom line.<\/p>Harnessing Technology to Improve Driver Safety <\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/a>For the most part, companies with outside sales teams, such as pharmaceutical companies, have not adopted GPS tracking software to monitor their reps. There have been a number of reasons as to why they haven\u2019t, two of which being privacy issues and the hardwired installation of the devices. These are two legitimate issues that we have the answer to.<\/p>Problem #1: Invasion of Privacy<\/h2>
