Steve Taylor Excavation Gains Over 50% Cost Savings by Utilizing The Right Fleet Tracking Technology

Steve Taylor Excavation, a Cloverdale, California excavation firm with 40 employees and over 50 vehicles, faced constant challenges in on-demand scheduling, verifying crew locations, and accurately tracking labor hours. To solve disputes over arrival times and improve dispatching, the company adopted Automile’s fleet‑tracking solution, deploying Automile boxes for real‑time location tracking and labor‑hour monitoring.

Automile delivered a plug‑and‑play, cloud‑based platform that provided live maps, trip histories and per‑driver hours, enabling precise scheduling, faster dispatch decisions and payroll reconciliation. The result: accurate labor reporting, instant vehicle location (preventing costly searches), an estimated 10%+ savings from avoiding payroll discrepancies, and a monthly tracking cost about 50% lower than competing GPS services — demonstrating clear operational and cost benefits from Automile.
