Case Study: Plote Construction Inc. achieves court victory and productivity gains with Verizon Connect

Plote Construction Uses Verizon Connect to Win Court Case and Improve Productivity

Plote Construction Inc., a family-owned heavy-highways contractor based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois with more than 45 years of experience, faced typical fleet risks: confirming driver locations and behavior, preventing unauthorized use, and defending against costly or frivolous damage claims. To address these challenges and boost profitability, Plote installed the Verizon Connect GPS fleet tracking solution across 119 vehicles.

Verizon Connect’s mapping, Route Replay and speed/location reporting let Plote prove a driver’s innocence in a major accident, avoid significant legal liability, and quickly refute false public complaints about vehicle locations. The system also improved dispatching, reduced unauthorized breaks and detours, tightened time-card accuracy, improved routing and lowered fuel use—delivering measurable gains in productivity and cost control for Plote Construction Inc.
