Anybody use trackers?

[Gardiners Tree Surgery]

Had my truck broke into at the weekend and the low life's took my top handle 201 brand new ms441 leaf blower and my helmet that stank like a tramps arse.

I'm thinking of putting a mini tracker in some of my gear. Has anybody else used them or had success.

Sorry to hear that but it might be better to take the tools out of your truck in future!

All of our chippers are fitted with trackers.

What are Trackers

Check out http://www.C-Track.co.uk

 

Cost is about £150 per item for installation then a contract of £10-£15 per item a month for 3 years.

 

The software is awesome, you can see where vehicles are, where they have been and how they have been driven. Ideal for addressing driver behavior which can reduce fuel and maintenance costs meaning more cash to invest on kit and training.

 

You can set geo-fences (i.e. your worksite) which will alert you if the vehicle moves out of the "fence", ideal when you leave kit on site.

Happened at half 4 in the afternoon when I pulled up outside my house. I was out of my truck for two mins. If I was mr tickle I'd carry them everywhere but there are times when things have to be left, I was due to go back out to work so didn't feel the need to unload. Wish I did but hinds sight is a amazing thing.
