The Frozen Tundra Job Site

This job site here in Des Moines has been stagnant for quite some time.   Now odds are no one will roll up and steal these machines.  They're in a high traffic and highly populated area of town...and you'd need a large tractor/trailer combo to take them anywhere. 

I believe these machines have been here for at least 2 maybe 3 weeks in this "frozen in time" condition.  This begs the question..."How long will your GPS tracking device operate in Hibernation or Sleep Mode?  Will the battery die off quickly in week long temps below 20?  (It's been minus 12 a few mornings lately.)

Big machines don't operate in labs or testing grounds.  Heck, they get pummeled with every kind of extreme you can imagine here:  heat, dirt, grease, freezing temps, the general category of "muck".  You name it.  And when the weather turns around here, work stops.  Will your device live up to the challenge?

Find reliable tracking/monitoring solutions that will stand up against everything you can throw at them. If you purely operate on the "buy it cheap" principal, you'll be replacing every device in the fleet at least once per year (I've seen it happen with my own eyes).  That not only costs you labor...but more importantly it costs you transport (get it back to the shop) and fleet utilization dollars ( your lifeblood).
