3. Doors Opening

The detection of door opening in unauthorized areas, or worse, the undetected door openings are a great risk that can represent the extraction or manipulation of the load, reflecting losses due to theft or dissatisfaction in the delivery.

4. Excessive Fuel Expense

Fuel is one of the highest operating costs, however, the irregular and excessive decrease in tank levels in the unit may be related to a fuel extraction, which, since is not detected by a Telematic Monitoring Solution, represents a high risk for the operation profitability.
