Lyndon Watts, the company owner, researched four companies and their GPS trailer tracking options before deciding to take a closer look at product options provided by GPSTrackit.com.

The GPS solutions provided for Wattrans, Inc. are the L2000 and the L2000 Trailer fleet management system.

The real-time truck tracking and GPS trailer tracking solutions provide the company data needed to maximize their fleet management system.

Real-time data provided by the L2000 and the L2000 Trailer gives dispatch the ability to know where their fleet of trucks and trailers are at any given point during the business day.

This has resulted in a direct drop in extra miles driven between trips from five percent, before, down to two percent, after adding truck tracking to the company fleet management system.

That is a 60% reduction in extra miles.

Wattrans is able to track the fleet information in real-time, providing their clients with more accurate and up-to-date information about their loads.

Using the L2000 and L2000 Trailer, Wattrans can determine:

What driver has the load
Where the load is in transit
Length of time before the load will be delivered

This information is helpful in making arrangements with customers where necessary, if a load will be late or delayed.

This has saved the company time and money, which has allowed them to begin increasing the number of deliveries made during the business day.
