 Post subject: What is the best?
PostPosted: Tue Apr 13, 2004 2:26 pm 
Can someone please tell me the best system out there for a 60 vehicle fleet?
I don't want sat nav, but do want data. If the drivers don't know where they are, then I don't want them on my circuit.

Guest
the best thing to do is some research, you my man will soon be going tits up, god knows how someone with your attitude has managed to get 60 cars

stick to pen and paper until you know what you are doing!

What attitude :oops:
Well I suggest using pigeons,or phone boxes,maps,compasses,and a Blue Peter,pencil and paper.
Drivers to have ticket machines and doofers to snip the tickets.
The doofers can be used to snip their b-lls,if they get lost,but please
do the latter yourself,as it does not come in to the job description
for your office staff.
If you require someone to run your business,contact Sussex,who
works(or pretends to)down?,I think sussex way.
But he needs a HC plate.

Goodly Luck,
Yil need it

Of course I know what the sales agents tell me is the best, but I only need one system not a dozen.

As for pen and paper, that has saved me a lot of money in the past. Many of my competitors got carried away and paid, in my opinion, over the top for data. I'm now getting quotes far cheaper than they paid, and for better equipment.

In that case why do you need those on here thats been overcharged to tell you whats the best?

I am amazed the site hasnt been filled by such sales agents!

you sound like you are from such a company rather than a big car set up.

I am amazed a 60 car set up still uses pen and paper,

infact I dont believe it.

I don't mind paying for something that's good.

The prices that I have been offered for what I consider are good, are better than some of my competitors paid for rubbish.

Yes but Mr Reality. My stereo cost half what I paid for the previous one, 10 years ago, and it is much better.

I also brought an AMSTRAD computer for a grand in about 1988. It probably had one thousandth of the memory my laptop has?

So your competitors paid more. How much further down the road are they?
