Busted!
One of my installers takes Friday off to watch his kid. Office manager gets a call from FWC, one of your trucks is here at the ramp, and they think he owns the boat stuck on a sand bar and are worried about him. They cant get to him. Yep it is him. He tells FWC he is fine on the phone .At this point he doesn't know how they got his cell number. Fast forward, office manager tells him he is busted and writes him up for driving a company truck 60 miles off duty with his kid to go fishing. Major liability for me. On the other hand, I could not have resisted to say, catch any fish? LOL He was shocked we knew!

You need GPS trackers on all your company vehicles. Pull them all up on the computer in real time.
I was in one of my suppliers' lumber yards and it was impressive to see the live map with all of their trucks on it.

We have a twice a year maintenance contract. The tech came out yesterday, never been here before. Wife told him not to lock the mechanical room door when he was finished because we don't have a key. He did. Should the hvac company pay the locksmith invoice?
Got a box of them in my office for about a month. Been too busy. Working on getting them installed asap. That will put a end to not knowing where anyone is during work cause they wont answer the phone. On the other hand, got some great techs at this point.
Back in the mid 80's me & my BIL worked for Lamar sign company. We got busted for the same thing. I don't know how they found out. This was before all this stuff they have now. We thought the land owner must of called them.
Did you fired him ?
BTW he caught something ?

I'm typing keeping close my "pasta hole"!
Political correctness is a mental disease that can put you in slavery. The only cure is to turn on the brain.
Not my blame if you do something that matches what I don't like.

Nope - You can ask that they assist in partial compensation for the fee, but it isn't his fault you don't have a key. Have the Locksmith come out, get a couple new keys made, save yourself the headache in the future.
Guess that will also stop the 2 hour 'lunches' at The Cheetah Club too!
I used to deliver appliances in Miami while going to junior college in 72-74. We'd haul **** all morning and then take our lunch break sitting on the roof of the truck, parked right up against the fence looking out at runway 9 Left at MIA and watch the planes land for an hour or two! The worst we had to deal with a was a beeper!
Little did I know then, that it would be me, landing airliners on that same runway about 500 times later in my life!
But he was watching his kid.
I think it's more about using the truck to go 60 miles away on a fishing trip.
We were waiting on inspector in Mangonia Park last week. My tech was there, waiting, and waiting..... They GPS'd the inspector and found his truck in Tampa, at a **** bar. Needless to say, I still need to have this inspection finaled!
He did leave out a few MINOR details. LOL
Fleetmatics has a great tracking/fleet management program. live real time tracking on all of your vehicles. reporting, alerts, pretty much the full package. can be integrated with your fuel cards to give you cost per stop & other good stuff. we just implemented it & i am finding it to be a good solution for us............. seeing where your vehicles are, current speed, etc is really great.
Taking it one more step. Got a buddy working for a large pest control. They are required to go 5 mph below speed limit. One warning next time you are fired. Caught my son running 90 mph in a Ford van late for work on a two lane country road back before our GPS was outdated. I didn't know they went that fast. Chewed his ****. Mainly for his safety.
Why don't you just replace them all with robots?
busted. . .. .same here my boss calls me that he`ll be unreachable at our stuart job . . .
three hours later we both started laughing we were fishing the same flat.
snook, trouts, reds, the best day ever. . . .
It used to be wednesday for me. Couldn't be reached Wed. afternoon. It's good to be the boss.
I remember the day the new owners bought my dads company. A while later the young punk son could not reach me. I was the service manager and hit the driving range at lunch. The son new the clubs were brand new in the morning. When I pulled in he said let me see those clubs. Grass stains. Busted! I didn't care it was my lunch hour. Tis was beeper era.
