Case Study: Goodfellow Bros., Inc. cuts idle time by $56,000/year and boosts safety and compliance with Zonar Systems

Goodfellow Bros., Inc. - Customer Case Study

Goodfellow Bros., a Wenatchee-based construction company with regional offices in Washington, Oregon and Hawaii, needed better visibility and tighter safety and compliance across a diverse fleet of pickup and heavy construction vehicles. Their challenge was to reduce unnecessary use, idle time and paperwork while ensuring DOT-mandated inspections and faster, centralized decision-making without disrupting operations.

They implemented Zonar’s fleet-management suite—V2J HD‑GPS and Ground Traffic Control for vehicle tracking and the 2010 handheld with EVIR for electronic pre/post‑trip inspections—plus real‑time alerts. Monitoring cut weekend use, speeding and idle times, halving idle hours and saving about $56,000/year for pickups; EVIR eliminated paper inspections and delivered near‑instant compliance. The system also enabled proactive engine-fault alerts, improved driver accountability, better maintenance planning and real‑time information sharing across the company.
