There’s always a threshold when something can still be done manually and then just a tad bit more it becomes almost impossible to do so. At that point some form of automation or procedure has to be done to do the task. For delivery truck fleets, limousines, or rentals, one solution is to have some form of GPS tracking. As long as you only have around 5 vehicles, or even as many as 20, manually tracking them via radio isn’t much of a chore. At some point, this is no longer possible nor feasible.

Tracking with a GPS device or system takes a load off the dispatcher or a radio operator. The dispatcher can continue with his job of sending tasks and routes to the driver. The fleet tracking data gets sent automatically to the computer. One important difference with this is the improved accuracy of data. As long as the GPS transmitter is on the vehicle, the company knows where the it is at any point in time. This automates the driver monitoring and it also makes sure that the vehicle is on the correct route. It may not prevent vehicle theft, but the system would know where the vehicle went off to, thereby making vehicle retrieval that much easier.
