This document discusses the benefits of GPS tracking for moving companies. It outlines how GPS tracking can: 1) Provide live traffic updates to set expectations and quantify driver hours, avoiding disputes over time spent. 2) Verify hours of service reporting with start and stop times to identify unscheduled stops or off-hours vehicle use. 3) Track idle time to reduce fuel costs and justify the expense of GPS tracking. 4) Give customers live location updates of their possessions to reduce stress and calls by allowing them to see minute-by-minute location.
