“We have that additional data that we can bring into our datasets already, take that information, report on it and get useful information to make key decisions about vehicle purchases driver behavior idle reduction and fuel use, so the information is invaluable.”
"Prior to Verizon Connect we were relying on very dated information. If we're coming to the customers two days after the fact it's already too late. So now with Verizon Connect we're able to find the problem before the customer does, so we can be proactive."
"Verizon Connect Reveal calculates the performance over the last 30 days for us. It's a very sophisticated system, and I'm thrilled to have it."
"In the long run, it’s safety and wear-and-tear on the vehicles that it’s helping out with."
"The most important reason we got the tracking system and cameras is to know where the vehicles are with the customers, and also protect the drivers in case people are making false claims against them."
"If we have a failure somewhere, I know exactly where the vehicles are. Verizon Connect is a big help."
"If something comes up that we weren’t planning for, we may have a couple of guys in that area that I can put on it right away. That’s where the tracking and knowing where everybody is with the live maps really helps us."
"By reducing idle time, we were able to save more than $100,000 in fuel alone. Reducing idle time also increases our driver capacity to pick up more customers or make more deliveries, which helps drive revenue and profit margins. We now average 17 to 18 tons per route, instead of 10 to 12 before."
“Increasing our market share, growing our profit margins, improving driver safety and reducing fuel usage drives everything we do.”
"We have a better idea of our cost per mile or cost per ton, so we can make smarter decisions about what to charge a new customer, or whether it's worth exploring a new opportunity."
"Their fleet management system has definitely helped us manage our fleet better, manage our assets better, make sure that we’re making wise business decisions out there with our equipment and know where all of our equipment is."
“Having a platform like Reveal gives us the insight to be able to track our assets and then make informed decisions about how we can best utilize those assets.”
"I think any transportation company or department would be lost without GPS and cameras. It’s huge for us."
"This is a very useful tool for consumption of gasoline, for performance and for the location of vehicles."
"There are unintended benefits that I wasn't really looking at, but I think are really, really helping the department. It is also, in a real sense, a force multiplier for us."
