"Everybody is our competitor. Anybody can grab a lawn mower or a truck and start a business. Instead of hiring more people, more equipment, more laborers, we chose fleet management, because it just helped us be a step above everybody else."
"There are lot of things we can do with the solution that will save us and our customers a lot of money and aggravation."
“If we don't do consistent oil changes, grease jobs, and things like that the trucks just aren't going to last as long."
"One of our challenges is finding enough capable drivers, because we want a good job to be done and we keep growing."
"One truck went 45 miles to the wrong town, in the wrong direction, and that took our truck out of service for a Friday afternoon for hours and hours. We had to look at it and say there's a better way.”
"We get a lot of service calls throughout the day, so I can see where the drivers are exactly to see who's closest to get to that service.”
"Routes are organized much better for us. one of The Throne Depot’s lead drivers. We can be much more efficient on where we go and how we get there.”
"They know whether I'm done, if I'm halfway done. I don't even have to call and tell them, because they already know.”
"Overall, since installing and using the Verizon Connect system we are managing our fleet more efficiently and effectively, which is good for business and also for the bottom line."
“It helps us stay in front of our guys 24/7.”
"The [safety] reports initially were very shocking. Their average safety score was a 77, and some were below 30. Through driver coaching the average improved to a 97. The year before implementing Reveal, the company had 16 accidents totaling nearly $1M in damages. After implementation, accidents dropped to 2. One driver commented that his “driving habits have changed dramatically.”
"It can help my customers, it helps me watch my drivers, cuts down on accidents—that just saves everybody money and time."
"Verizon Connect has helped us lower idle times by about 45 minutes per vehicle per day and to monitor stop by stop how long vehicles are at each site. In one year, that added up to over $23,000 in fuel costs. That's why we've recommended Verizon Connect to four or five other companies who are now implementing it."
"Now all our deliveries are being made on time, so our customers are happy and will keep working with us. Also, our drivers are back at a decent time so we are spending less on overtime."
"Our DOT safety scores have gone up, the trucks are safer on the road and the life and productivity of the fleet has increased."
