Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking technology was developed for the government and military, but it has since been found to have many practical applications in the private business sector.

GPS tracking allows employers, particularly those with large fleets of vehicles, to track not only their employees’ locations, but also their rates of speed and the amount of time the vehicles sit idle.

• In the trucking industry, vehicle tracking can be used to monitor how much time truckers spend behind the wheel. Laws control the amount of time a trucker drives each day or trip, for safety reasons.
• In law enforcement, vehicle tracking gives supervisors reason to discipline an officer if he’s dawdling when he’s supposed to be on patrol.
• In logistics and service businesses, vehicle tracking helps schedule appointments and deliveries and track drivers’ progress on their routes.
• In any business, employers can use GPS tracking to reduce insurance rates and overtime payments.
