Vehicle Telemetry

Senior Service · Post by **Senior Service** » 03 May 2008, 11:45

According to the PEC report approx 1/3 of the fleet now have telemetry installed. Does any know how we can tell? where is it installed? what does it look like?
Many Thanks

If its instaled its a small round silver disc the size of a 10p on the dash board, we have it instaled in our area but we dont have the key chain thing yet to show who is driving the van, so they cant do us for anything yet

Very naive ...you sign for the van so they obviously know who's in the driving seat and therefore can trace it's whereabouts to a specific person yes they might be holding back but the data is being used to identify vehicles..... but they realy do know if your not where you're suposed to if your van is fitted with the spy in the cab

why are you worried about it..i saw somewhere that an agreement with the union says the data can only be used anonymously...to assist in better driving practises (bull) and yes of coarse they know whos driving but cant do bugger all about it if that's the case officially .

that's what i saw somewhere and may be all lies but there you go

if your not doing anything you shouldn't be then why worry??? all our vehicles at macclesfield are fitted with it. we have just had 7/8 new vans that have not got it fitted!!! they fitted it to vans that were about to be replaced!!! with clowns like this running it i wouldn't worry!!!! the management seem more interested in taking action against drivers who have untidy or dirty vans!!!! anything but deal with the real issues ie walks etc!!!! the lunatics have taken over the asylum!!!

I cannot see the problem with it to be honest,and if you take into account the number of vehicles that RM operate,that is going to be a hellulva lot of data to process on a daily basis,we had this argument years ago in the haulage trade with the introduction of the tachograph,its not that bad

with reference to the comment by DB1100 as we do not have this in our area yet can somebody who does tell me can a manger in your office check and get live data as to where a van is at a moment in time and there for say to a driver on return to his office why was your van on ?????? street at 11 o clock

The dim dum's have already recived training on vehicle telemetry now wether they can access this data on computer i'm not 100% sure but they are aware of your whereabouts. I belive that comes from the chain of command again not 100% sure who is allowed access but they are aware but unable at present to act upon it

There is 2 Dum,s in my office and about 20 vans,so what with the time they (the dums) spend e-mailing their friends,online shopping,watching youtube video's I cannot imagine they would normally watch where the vans were,apart from when something goes tits up.Just imagine the logistics involved around here house's are constantly being built so any mapping software would have to be updated all the time.

We have 40+ vans in our office! nearly all have this shite fitted! trust me they don't know their arses from their elbows!!!! At our office they don't know what f***ing day it is!!! they are only bothered about getting the walks out!!! it's all scaremongering, in true leighton/crozier bullshit management style!! if your doing nowt wrong they cannot touch you!!!!
