Case Study: Robbins Towing achieves faster response times, lower fuel costs and vehicle recovery with Verizon Connect

Robbins Towing Keeps Better Track of Their Trucks With Gps Fleet Tracking

Robbins Towing, a four-truck towing and recovery company in St. Catharines, Ontario, needed better oversight of vehicles that sit at drivers’ homes, tighter control of fuel and idling, and more reliable ETAs while operating 24/7. After moving from a primitive former provider, Robbins implemented Verizon Connect’s GPS fleet tracking system to get real‑time location, turn‑by‑turn directions, job status notifications and in‑system messaging.

With Verizon Connect, Robbins Towing improved routing, cut idling and unauthorized vehicle use, and tightened fuel costs—saving an estimated 3–4 minutes per call, which at ~30 calls/day equals roughly two extra productive hours daily. The system also reduced distracted‑driving risk through pre‑programmed routes, improved contractor service with precise ETAs, and even enabled police to recover a stolen truck by providing exact location data.
