Stolen Vehicle Recovered With GPS Tracking

GPS Tracking Saves the Day

April 26, 2020

We love to hear great stories from our customers about how they use our solutions. I heard one the other day from Timothy Perez at Ace Quality Construction. He told me that one of their vans was stolen in November 2019.

Mr. Perez said that as soon as they knew the vehicle was missing they logged into their GPS tracking account and found it. They were only 30 minutes behind the thieves.

They immediately called the police. They were able to give them the location and direction of the vehicle. This allowed the police to find the van immediately. Unfortunately, the bad guys were gone, but our customer was able to recover the vehicle without any major damage.

The van was back in service the next day. This saved Ace Quality Construction a ton of time and money. Without the tracker they most likely would not have found the vehicle so quickly or at all.

I think this is a great example of the power of real time GPS tracking. There are so many exciting benefits that I am always surprised to find fleets that are still not using it.

Hit and Run Caught on Vehicle Camera

Hit and Run Accident Caught on Vehicle Camera

A GPS tracking video camera can do more than just protect your business. It can also help others.

Not too long ago one of our customer’s drivers witnessed a hit and run accident. The good news is that no one was hurt, but instead of taking responsibility the other party decided to take off.

Fortunately for the victim the incident was captured on my customer’s GPS tracking video camera.

The driver pulled over to offer the victim a video clip of what was captured. We were able to get them a clip of the entire incident. This was extremely valuable in helping the victim try to identify who hit him.

Take a look at what happened.

This is a great example of how an in-vehicle video camera can help make a difference. Most people think about how the camera can benefit them, but in this case it helped someone else.

TX Commercial Vehicle Insurance Is Rising

Texas Commercial Vehicle Increases Every Year

If you own or operate a commercial vehicle in Texas then you know that commercial vehicle insurance rates seems to increase every year. It is getting more expensive to operate a commercial vehicle which directly hits your bottom line.

In the fall of 2019 The Texas Department of Insurance approved a request by the Texas Automobile Insurance Plan Association (TAIPA) to increase the rate for commercial vehicle insurance. The rate will increase 4.8%.

The TAIPA is a not-for-profit auto insurer of last resort in Texas, the membership of which includes all Texas-authorized insurers.

In my opinion, if the TAIPA raises its rates then it is pretty certain that rates are rising across all insurers.

Commercial vehicle insurance rates are rising in Texas even if your drivers have great safety records. The reason is due to several factors.

One is the increasing jury awards for commercial vehicle accidents. When the insurance companies pay out those massive awards they pass the cost to their customers in the form of increased premiums.

Another reason is that Texas is a fast growing state. We have more people moving here every day. The increased population creates more chances for accidents and frivolous lawsuits.

Another major factor is the large number if uninsured motorists in Texas. The national average for uninsured motorists is 13%. In Texas it is 14.1%. This affects your rates because the insurance companies face a risk of people filing uninsured motorist claims.

What Can You Do About It?

You cannot control other drivers. However, you can protect yourself by installing a GPS tracking video camera. The video camera can protect you in 2 ways.

  1. Provides evidence in case of an accident
  2. Accountability for your drivers

Keep the Lawyers Away

Video evidence is a great tool in case of an accident. Most GPS tracking video cameras comes with a forward road facing camera and a driver facing camera.This way you can see the road in front of the vehicle and the driver.

If there is an accident or some other event then you will have evidence of what occurred inside and in front of the vehicle. This can be invaluable.

The video will hopefully give you the evidence you need to prevent or dismiss any lawsuit immediately. This can save you thousands of dollars in increased premiums and countless hours stuck in a deposition.

Prevent the Accident

The best way to avoid an accident is to prevent it. With video you can make sure that your employees are driving safely.

A GPS tracking video camera can help you prevent distracted driving, especially texting and driving, which is one of the leading causes of vehicle accidents. It is also one of the most preventable.

The video camera allows you to watch your employees driving whenever you want. With a random check you can make sure that they are not using their phone. It is like a random inspection that you control.

If something occurs then you will have accurate evidence to show your driver what happened. There will be no more disputes between you and the driver because everyone will be on the same page. The video does not lie.

The camera will also alert you every time the driver hits the brakes really hard. This could mean that he or she was distracted , such as texting and driving, and then hit the brakes all of a sudden.

It could also indicate unsafe driving habits such as tailgaiting or following too closely. If your driver is continuously doing that then eventually he or she is going to hit someone. When that happens it is going to cost you.

If you can protect yourself by using a GPS tracking video camera then you will be able to help keep your insurance premiums lower and those of everyone else as well.
