Is GPS Vehicle Tracking 'Big Brother?'
Topic: GPS Vehicle Tracking

There is an really easy way to tell where a person is at on the issue is to pretend like you are the owner of a business that offers GPS vehicle tracking systems. How they choose to respond to you lets you know if they a business owner or if they are just an employee.

Generally speaking, the first words of the lips of someone who works for someone else is something like this - “That sounds a lot like 'Big Brother' to me. You know, from Orwell's classic novel 1984.” Yes, you might even be able to see their eyes glaze over as their minds are filled with fancies of mind-controlled drones who work hard but are not allowed to have any thoughts of their own.

But when you think about it, what exactly is wrong with a business taking an interest in its assets, in monitoring their vehicles? Or what is wrong with a business making sure that the job that they are paying someone to do is actually getting done like the employee says it is? There are some serious issues at stake here that mean a lot more than who owns the vehicles or who has the right to know what is going on with their assets.

It is all about trust, accountability, and covenant. When businesses employ someone they make an agreement with that person to pay them such-and-such wages for such-and-such work. If an employee does not get paid they will become very upset. If a worker does not work the employer will get very upset. This is the way that things are.

We all know that this is the way that things work, but it is much easier for employees to make sure that their bosses are living up to their end of the bargain. They can simply look at their paycheck and know if they are being paid the agreed upon wage. Employers have very little that they can do, especially when they employ many people who go far and afield from the office.

This is where GPS vehicle tracking comes in. It allows a business owner to be able to know what is going on with their vehicles. It lets them monitor their employee's activity and make sure that they are living up their end of the bargain.

There are several different ways that employees can 'steal' from their employers and not live up to their end of the bargain. One of these ways that GPS tracking can help bosses reduce is speeding. We all know that fuel is extremely expensive and we all now know that speeding is not a very fuel efficient method of transportation. It also wears out vehicles prematurely, putting costs upon the owner and the business that should never have been put there. There is also the increased insurance rates that will inevitably result from speeding.

GPS tracking helps owners locate this type of problem and put a cabash on it. This will help them save a lot of money in the long run and make their business more effective and productive. There is simply nothing like being able to discipline a poor performer to make your business that much more productive.

GPS vehicle tracking is extremely powerful and should be used by fleet owners of all sizes for a variety of reasons.

Name: "vehicle tracking"
Home Page: http://www.mcmsecurity.com/gps-vehicle-satellite-tracki

GPS vehicle tracking uses a system of satellites orbiting the earth to find an approximate placement of the receiver within a few meters of its actual location and are known for their accuracy and reliability and can generally give you a precise reading within a few feet of your position.
