There are a multitude of GPS products on the market today. Having only products and solutions that provide both GPS tracking and diagnostic benefits for your fleet while still being affordable, Fleet Target should be on your ’short list’ to review.

By drastically reducing costs, a minimal investment in GPS technology can give huge paybacks. Fleet Target’s GPS tracking technology provides an immediate Return on Investment (ROI) for the operations side of your business by increasing efficiency, reducing overtime costs and increasing revenue.

Vehicle Tracking

Here are just 2 specific areas of interest where companies will benefit.

Lower fuel costs by monitoring idle time and unauthorized gas usage

  • Decrease accidents and their costs by identifying drivers that speed
  • Reduce vehicle downtime expenses with problem alerts
  • Eliminate smog test fees (CA) for light and medium duty vehicles

Increase driver productivity:

  • Locate the vehicle closest to the job
  • Verify vehicle stops and site visits
  • Quickly locate broken down vehicles

Taken from their pages:

Networkfleet reports give users expanded insight into the operating condition of their vehicles and productivity of their drivers.

Also

You may have read about us in one of the recent GPS reviews comparing the many GPS systems available today. When it comes to automotive GPS ratings, Networkfleet scores high when it comes to vehicle recovery rates. Our system creates an online breadcrumbs trail showing where your vehicle has been so it can be promptly recovered.

The layout is especially well done and there is intuitive navigation to locate what you’re looking for right away. A generous sampling of pictures give a lot to look at. But it wasn’t just the visuals that kept looking around the site for more.

They offer each service individually and do a great job in detailing exactly what is included in their services - No Guessing!!

The directory was different from most other sites - it was not just trying to push me in a certain direction, but provided valuable info as well so I could make a sensible and informed decision. The info is easy to find, attractive, and written in a language that is easy to read and absorb.

Primarily, I think Fleet Target has an outstanding product that people would benefit by. Certainly, their web presence and client list are very impressive. So my recommendation is that if you’re in need of Fleet Management products or services, then this site is one of the finest sites of it’s kind.

Can you guess who owns these two houses?

plezurgui asked:


House #1
A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month, this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern “snow belt” area. It’s in the South.
House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house is
4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F. ) heats the house in the
winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity equired for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected
and funneled into a 25,000-gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area
enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.
Hint: House number 1 is located in Tennessee, while House number 2 is located near Crawford, Texas.

Why Does A Fitness Trainer Make Sense For Me?

May 30th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

If you want someone who has the discipline, skills, knowledge, and expertise to help you develop and implement an efficient, effective workout plan, then you need a fitness trainer. Personal trainers earn certifications from one or more of a number of organizations. Once they’ve earned their certificates, they frequently will go out on their own or go to work for a Massachusetts gym or health club.

Provided by ATrainerOnTheRoad.Com, this article shows you some ideas about personal trainer. Check them for any trainer related issues like, find a fitness trainer or a workout center

Certification is only a validation of the basic requirements. Be sure to also examine some other things about your prospective trainer and don’t be afraid to ask direct questions. Remember you want this person to be able to encourage and motivate you.

Fitness trainers can be many things to many people. Sometimes, people expect Fitness trainers to set plans and golas for them over months and even years. In cases like this, the personal trainer will recommend a specific exercise routine and make lifestyle suggestions (such as nutritious diets or other healthy habits) and continually check up on the trainee to monitor the progress of the plan.

Other people visit a personal trainer for only one or two sessions, in order to see how effective their current fitness plans are and how best to improve those plans. Personal trainers can bring a lot of knowledge and suggestions to improve an individual’s fitness plans and goals as well as sound advice on lifestyle and health.

What a personal trainer is not is a drill sergeant, as many seem to think. Always insist that your Fitness trainer is a positive motivator and not there to work you to death nor discourage you. Even tho there may be a few like that out there, the majority of Fitness trainers have the knowledge and skills to show you the way to a healthy lifestyle and give you the proper motivation to keep you there.

These Fitness Trainers In Dallas, Texas are Fully Qualified and Ready for You

May 28th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

This year, don’t just loose weight; get healthier. For helpful ideas talk to a personal trainer dallas.

A few trainer-suggested tips to help those out trying to loose weight:

Diets that severely restrict calories or the types of food ‘allowed’ can lead you to be deficient in the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs.

Have smaller portions of the food you enjoy.

You may find that you don’t need to cut calories as much as you need to get off your behind. Don’t get stuck in the rut of thinking you have to play a team sport or take an aerobics class to get exercise. Try a variety of activities from hiking to cycling to dancing until you find ones you like.

Muscle weighs more than fat, but the last thing you want to lose is muscle! For this reason alone, its important to have a regular exercise routine somewhere in your schedule. Without exercise, your body is going to burn through muscle first - and youll wind up more imbalanced than you were to begin with.

Helpful Check Lists For Annual Air Conditioning Maintenance

May 27th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

Of course you want to extend the usefulness and life of your aitr conditioner where possible. Don’t underestimate the value of maintenance. Air conditioners can be rather expensive to replace as well as operate. Taking care of your air conditioner properly and regularly can extend its life dramatically. This will surely save you a couple thousands of dollars throughout the course of your life.

This article provided courtesy of ServiceFinders.Net. An Internet directory like no other with full service HVAC contractors for air conditioner maintenance Short Pump or heat pump maintenance Chester.

No doubt air conditioners take a beating. We all know it. They can be pushed pretty hard under pretty severe conditions. Help neutralize all of those effects with regular maintenance on at least a yearly basis. Vigilence is rewarded with this, folks. You will get far better performance and satisfaction from a unit that has been regularly maintained.

While trying to keep your air conditioner in tip top condition, there are a couple of tips that you will want to follow. They are as follows:

  • Look at the outside
    Initially, youll want to ensure that the condensing unit isnt being covered, so that it can draw air into the cooling system to cool the insides of the home. Items stacked or stored around the condenser unit must be removed before operation.
  • Don’t wait for the last minute
    Before you need your air conditioner, it may be a good idea to turn it on and let it run for a few minutes. Waiting until the heat of summer can leave you without cooling and waiting in line to get your service for a while. You will be glad you checked earlier if you find any problems and you won’t have to wait in line (like you may if you wait until the busy summer season).
  • Routinely change your air filters
    Regularly changing air filters are of the utmost importance when it comes to air conditioning maintenance. Not many things destroy the efficiency of the unit like a blocked air filter will. Changing air filters is a simple, inexpensive way to save on repairs and keep your home cooler for less money.
  • Examine hoses and connections for leaks
    You should be checking hoses and their connections at least two times a year for possible leaks and signs of damage. The best times to do this is before you turn your unit on for the summer, and just before you are ready to turn it off for the winter. This can catch problems before they become too serious; sometimes too serious to be repaired and require replacement of your unit.
  • Duct work should be cleaned regularly.
    This is one of those maintenance issues that can remain “out-of-sight,out-of-mind”. But doing it can save you a lot of money on operating costs and significantly extend your unit’s useful life.
  • Keep yuour condenser unit covered during the off season.
    One of the best ways to protect your outside compressor unit is with a cover for use during the off season to protect from winter conditions. Sometimes they come with the air conditioner but be sure to check and purchase one if it does not come with one. This way you will always have a cover that fits your unit without hassle.

Doing these simple things will go a long way to enhancing the performance and life of your air conditioner unit saving you time, money, and hassle.

I’ve been told I need 10-11 tons of heat pumps to heat/cool my house but only 4T in geothermal. Is this right?

D Squared asked:


I live in the Appalachian Mtns. & do not have the temp. extremes. Natural gas is not available, electricity is reasonably priced. My under const. home is 5500 sq. ft on 2 floors 1 of which is a walkout basement that is 1/2 exposed & frame.
I have 9′ ceilings & some vaulted ceilings. I have been told by 3 heat pump companies that I need a 5 ton down & at least a 5 up but two 3 ton units would be better.
I received a quote from a geothermal co. using one 4 ton unit.
One of the heat pump men said that he thinks geo requires twice the tonnage as air source.
The geo man checked R- ratings in the walls & fenestration values from the windows when he made his calculations, the heat pump guys mainly used sq. footage allowing for a well insulated house.
No one else in this area knows about geothermal.
Thanks for your input.
