Assurance Power Systems Eliminates Excessive Idling with NexTraq Fleet Tracking

April 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Atlanta – April 18, 2011 – NexTraq, the value leader of GPS vehicle tracking and fleet management solutions, today announced that its client, Assurance Power Systems, has completely eliminated unnecessary idling, significantly reducing fuel costs. Additionally, the NexTraq™ Fleet Tracking solution reduced maintenance costs by using less engine hours which ultimately helps with its vehicles’ longevity.

Some of White’s vehicles are diesel and are tracked by engine hours. With the NexTraq Fleet Tracking platform, being able to control idling and thus, engine hours, benefits him when he remarkets the vehicles. White said, “The more engine hours on a diesel truck decreases its remarket value dramatically.”

White also benefits from using the Posted Speed Alert to make sure technicians are following speed limits in more residential areas. “When the speed limit is 25 mph and my driver is going 35 mph, that’s a problem. Local groups in our area called community control have the authority to give tickets to offending drivers.”

Prior the implementing NexTraq, Assurance Power Systems used the honor system when dealing with a truck’s maintenance. White said, “We knew the guys weren’t doing it. So we set up our maintenance log in the NexTraq platform to track everything from oil changes to transmission flushes. Any business owner I know would love this feature because it prolongs the life of the trucks.”

Mike Scarbrough, CEO of NexTraq, said, “Our maintenance reporting within the NexTraq platform is not merely for scheduling oil changes. Whether it’s to create a log of what’s been done or what needs to be scheduled, proper maintenance of our customers’ vehicles affects everything from miles per gallon to resale value when it’s time to update their fleets.”
