Satellite Tracking of Vehicles

I have several company trucks and vans. Looking for some ideas on what other people are using.
Thanks, Quinlan

A company I worked with in the past added GPS tracking to its 60 trucks to keep an eye on the fleet. Gas consumption/ mileage dropped by 25% in the first month and they saved 7K in overtime in the first week. Both were due to employees doing personal errands/ side jobs on the company clock while driving the company trucks. They never saw this hidden benefit until after the installation.

Sprint has a system with comet tracker. I had demo'ed the system but was not compatable with our system. It really worked well and was raily inexpensive.
