Frequently Asked Questions

What is market vehicle management in fleet operations?icon
Market vehicle management refers to the management of vehicles that are hired from the open market (non-owned vehicles) to supplement a company's own fleet during demand surges, for specific routes, or for special cargo requirements. These vehicles — also called market vehicles, hired vehicles, or third-party vehicles — are contracted on a trip, daily, or monthly basis. Managing them requires tracking their actual trip performance, fuel usage (where applicable), driver behaviour, and delivery compliance alongside owned fleet vehicles.
What challenges does market vehicle management present?icon
Market vehicles present distinct challenges: lack of ownership means direct control over vehicle condition, driver behaviour, and compliance is limited; GPS devices may not be installed or may use different tracking systems than the company's owned fleet; billing disputes over claimed distances and trip completion are common without tracking data; driver compliance with company safety and operational standards is harder to enforce; and maintenance condition of hired vehicles is uncertain, increasing breakdown risk.
How does fleet management software improve market vehicle control?icon
Fleet management software addresses market vehicle challenges by: supporting GPS device fitment on hired vehicles during the contract period (using company-provided portable trackers); enabling unified monitoring of both owned and market vehicles on the same dashboard; generating trip reports for billing verification against transporter claims; capturing ePOD for delivery confirmation regardless of vehicle ownership; and logging driver behaviour events to enforce company safety standards on hired drivers.
How is billing managed for market vehicles?icon
Market vehicle billing is typically based on distance (per kilometre), time (per day or trip), or a combination. Fleet management systems with GPS tracking on market vehicles generate verified trip reports showing actual distance covered, loading and unloading timestamps, and geofence entry/exit events — providing objective data for billing verification. Discrepancies between transporter-submitted bills and GPS-verified data are automatically flagged for review, reducing billing disputes and overpayment.
Can Fleetx track both owned and market vehicles on the same platform?icon
Yes. Fleetx supports a mixed fleet approach with owned vehicles (permanently fitted with Fleetx GPS devices) and market vehicles (tracked via portable GPS units or integration with third-party tracking data during the hire period). Both vehicle types appear on the same monitoring dashboard, with trip records, driver behaviour events, and ePOD linked to the consignment regardless of vehicle ownership. MIS reports can be filtered by vehicle type (owned vs market) for cost and performance analysis.
