Griffin Waste Services Benefits of Navman Wireless
Reduced Downtime
- With the Navman system, Griffin's dispatcher knows when a truck arrives at the landfill, and the moment a container is emptied. Drivers are on their way to their next assignment without a moment's delay.
-
Ten minutes here. Fifteen minutes there. It adds up. The company estimates Navman GPS tracking eliminates at least an hour of downtime per day per driver. At a billable rate of $15 per hour, it adds up to $75 per vehicle per week- $300 per month.
Fuel/Maintenance Costs
- Griffin's small container trucks each average 225 miles a day, at an estimated cost of $1.50 per mile in fuel and maintenance- a monthly cost of $7,425 per vehicle.
- Navman tracking enables Griffin to route the closest available truck, minimizing miles driven, as well as wear and tear.
- In addition, the company has implemented a policy of no idling, and "never over 70" mph. Navman Idle Reports and Speed Reports enable the company to enforce those restrictions.

They estimate they've slashed fuel and maintenance costs by at least 10%, a savings of $742.50 per vehicle per month.

- Geofence Alerts notify when a truck arrives at a landfill. A Navman sensor in each truck notifies dispatch when the container is emptied and the vehicle is available.
- Activity Reports enable Griffin to monitor vehicle usage, from ignition on to ignition off, 24/7.
- Satellite mapping indicates the whereabouts of every truck in the fleet, for optimal efficiency, productivity and customer service.
