The Werner case has often been described as a “thermonuclear” or “nuclear” verdict – terms used to describe jury awards that far exceed what many consider reasonable compensation. These verdicts are increasingly common in the transportation industry, where emotional testimony, devastating injuries, and public perceptions about “big trucking” can drive jury decisions into nine- or even ten-figure territory. While Werner ultimately prevailed on appeal, the financial and emotional toll of defending such a case is immense.
When you’re investing in asset tracking, it’s easy to get caught up in things like GPS accuracy, battery life, or connectivity. And don’t get me wrong, those are all super important. But none of that matters if the tracker itself can’t handle the real world. That’s where durability comes into play, and one of the best ways to measure that toughness is by checking its IP rating.
Every moment a truck sits in traffic is a missed delivery, a ticking meter on labor costs, and potentially a frustrated client. But what if you could see those traffic jams before they happen—not just now, but minutes or even hours ahead? Welcome to the age where weather data becomes your fleet’s sixth sense, giving dispatchers and drivers a radar-guided crystal ball into the future of the roads.
Leveraging GPS Tracking and Dash Cams in today’s fast-paced mobile service industries can be a big win. Customers expect reliability, transparency, and efficiency. Business owners are constantly searching for innovative ways to stay ahead of the competition. Leveraging GPS tracking and dash cams can be a real game-changer for any mobile operation. Here’s how one might creatively and strategically use these technologies to not only stand out in a crowded market but also provide unmatched value to customers.
The real issue isn’t capability; it’s cost and infrastructure. Electrifying a fleet is like adopting a new language. It requires training, charging stations, grid upgrades, new maintenance protocols, and capital—lots of it.
In the pursuit of cost-effective technology solutions, many small businesses gravitate towards readily available options offered by big-box retailers, online marketplaces like Amazon, or bundled services from cellular providers. DIY tech tools seem perfect for startups – affordable, easy, and fast to launch. But as you scale, those one-size-fits-all fixes can fall short.
Geotab Development has been working hard to transform maintenance reminders into a more robust work order management platform with goals to:
Centralize maintenance scheduling and requests.
Prioritize repairs based on severity.
Maximize vehicle uptime with improved emergency assistance.
Increase efficiency and cost savings.
Deploying fleet tracking technology is no gamble because the deck is stacked in your favor. Vehicle tracking and telematics data is key to effortlessly staying on top of it all. With a little technology and the right fleet management tips, training, and support, the overwhelming task of managing a fleet is simplified. With that in mind, we came up with a stacked deck just for you!
Geotab Ace, Geotab’s new artificial intelligence for fleet management, currently in BETA, allows individuals with zero coding expertise to analyze telematics data through simple questions. It also solves the age-old issue of an inability to easily combine data from different data sets in Geotab into a single report or break data down a different way for a super-fast answer.
