We use the real-time tracking system from www.gpsfleetsolutions.com. It
costs about $400 for the equipment and then $35 per month per vehicle.
We are upgrading one of our trucks to their new "two-way" system that
includes the Garmin Nuvi 740 unit for the driver and allows two-way
communication from dispatch to each driver (like sending a route
directly to their GPS, etc.). Travis Microserv Josh Luthman wrote: What kind of GPS units do you have?

Do you work with teams of two or individuals? We have had nearly a week of below zero weather (wind chill) and have rescheduled numerous jobs. Our company policy states that when wind chill is at or below 0, it is up to the installer whether to go out or not. I have been able to get the guys to go out in pairs and so far that has been ok except that we are not able to get to all the scheduled jobs. Our policy for below freezing weather is we leave it at the discretion of the installer based on snow/ice covering the roof.

The problems I see are safety, not seeing the tower, bitter cold and it's just very uncomfortable to work in. Today we have a good foot of snow with ice covering everything - looks like bubblewrap on my car. I just told everyone to stay home but call their appointments and reschedule and play in the snow with their kids, but prepare to work a half day if things lighten up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
