Thanks for the clarification John, I hope no offense was taken and none was intended in both directions. I would not want someone reading this to interpret that you think the levels of skill and commitment required to be a good field service forklift tech are roughly equal to the skills and commitment required to keep your driving license from being revoked by the state.
I feel pretty sure that _you_ know that to be a good "road tech" requires far more than JUST "doing what is right", in the way of investment of tools and time to learn all the various the job skills necessary.
I just would not want any people who do NOT know "secret of where the skill resides", to decide that the skill is held in the logo on the outside of the truck, and not the tech inside the truck, and what it takes to make that truck a much more valuable asset than the same truck was worth, sitting on the lot at the new truck dealer, and to justify that mistake with the idea that the same privilege that got them the job as [insert no getting dirty job title here] can be used as justification for them to put any friend or relative that needs a job as a field service technical customer support specialist. I have seen way to many customers pay way too much for training someone who should have never been in the forklift business.
I also wanted to reiterate the idea that every tech owes it to the paying customer to -earn- the payment every hour, and not consider their continued employment as a privilege that just not really **** up entitles them to.
Far too often in todays business and political climate, I think people hear the word "privilege" and equate it to "entitlement", I know I have.
All that said, and now heading back to the topic at hand, I would really like to know more about the differences and abilities of the available GPS tracking units and their related software, and wonder if anyone has some links to the various manufactures, or if there is a GPS tracking equipment website like forkliftaction is for the forklift industry.
