Alerts can be used to monitor speeding, idling, after hours, zone violations, and many other things in the NexTraq system. Once alerts are created, you do not have to delete the rules to stop the emails. Say you are going on vacation and do not want to receive email alerts on your iPhone while you are lounging on the beach, but you still want employees to be held accountable when you return… Not to worry! Simply disable the alert temporarily. Go to Alerts > Summary. Select the desired alert. Make sure the check box next to “Enabled” is NOT selected.

The Location Report in the NexTraq system is a great tool to see how many times a vehicle has entered a Location over any time period. First, go to Reports > More Reports > Location.
You must enter:
- Time Frame
- Mobile or Fleet
- Location or Zone (one single location, or all locations)
- Only Include Stops?: If you would like to see when vehicles entered locations, but did not stop inside of that location, you can include those incidents.
Select “View Report” when ready.
Then, you will see the vehicle name at the top of the report, the Time the incident began, the Driver assigned to the vehicle at that time.
This report is slighly different than the Location Summary report (below)
The Location Summary will tell you which vehicles entered each Location. You will see the total hours spent inside of that location, total moving hours, stopped hours, idle hours, sensor hours, and stops in total. This report is more useful when you want to analyze a Location, rather than a Driver’s activity.

The Risk Management report is a great report on the overall risk exposure of your fleet. The first three columns display ‘speed bands.’
Did you know these are customizable? Go to Administration > System Settings. Here, you can adjust the speed band values, as well as the grace period:
A grace period of at least 16 seconds is recommended. This allows drivers time to pass a vehicle on the interstate, or a large truck that may have debris coming off the back. After the vehicle has sustained the speed for over the grace period time, then it will be flagged in the Risk Management report as a speeding event.

Once a route is created in NexTraq, you can quickly compare the suggested route to a vehicle’s actual activity. Go to Routes > Summary. Next to the desired Route, select the icon for “Compare.”
Did you know you could adjust map layers on your NexTraq map? In the Find tab, select the “Map Layers” section. Select one of the default layers of Counties, Cities, or Zip Codes. Select an opacity level, and select “Update Map.”

I signed up for this a couple of weeks ago and have been receiving the article updates. It is a great tool from which I have learned new things.
