Tracking solutions remain popular even in down economy

You have to be careful reading reports, because the terms tracking, communications, and GPS are all used incorrectly at times. However, the fact remains that some form of onboard telematics for many fleets is a way of doing business, simply because it pays back and has become an integral part of doing business for many fleets.

The Driscoll Report, referenced this week in Fleet Owner, is evidence of that.

Interested in reading more about EOBR's? You can find two free white papers at www.gpsgateway.com. The first is written by Qualcomm's Dave Kraft, the second is written by Joel Beal from Gateway Professional Services.

The Electronic Onboard Recorder (EOBR) proposal is sleeping, but not dead.
