I just spoke with the scheduler at Cannon Pacific, the street sweeping company in San Diego. She said that they are very happy with the Cyber Tracker and the software. They have "about" 24 trucks and each truck has one. Some CT's are hard wired and some are not, and they use the cigarette lighter adapter to power them. One of the trucks has a camera attached to the CT. They are in the process of replacing some of their older trucks and they want to check out the usefulness of the camera for their needs prior to committing to using the application on their entire fleet. She said that the primary function of the camera is to enable drivers to document with a photo and a time stamp any obstacle (generally cars) that they may encounter. They can then use the picture as evidence of the obstacle if there are complaints about an area that is not swept.

The only non standard application they use is a "brooms up, or brooms down" function that reports when the driver is sweeping. They have contracts with several cities. Often they get calls from individuals or the city complaining that a particular street has not been swept. They use the history function to be able to tell the caller precisely what day and what time they last swept the area.

During a typical day she keeps track of all the drivers using two computer screens. One with the map showing exactly where the trucks are located and what direction they are traveling, and another that lists among other things, how fast the truck is traveling, when they are sweeping, when they are stopped and for how long. They monitor lunch breaks with the CT as well.

They don't use the push to talk function. She said the CT has been very reliable and she isn't aware of any problems they've had with the CT.

Companies will buy the CT. Maybe the shareholder sales force will begin to rack up some sales.
