Mini (compact) excavators are small hydraulic excavators designed for tight, sensitive job sites. They offer tracked or wheeled undercarriages, modern diesel or electric powertrains, advanced hydraulics, and a wide range of attachments for landscaping, trenching, demolition, and utility work.
Business auto insurance (commercial auto) protects company-owned or used vehicles with liability and physical-damage coverages, plus optional protections such as hired/non-owned, cargo, and telematics-based programs.
Modern in-car GPS pairs satellite positioning with cloud services, live traffic, voice assistants and cellular connectivity. Systems come built-in, as aftermarket units, or via smartphone apps and now include emergency services, OTA updates, satellite radio and fleet telematics.
Get practical tips for lowering car-insurance costs and what to ask when requesting a USAA quote: deductible strategy, vehicle choice, discounts, telematics, eligibility, and claims documentation.
A practical, up-to-date guide to buying car insurance online: understand key coverages, use online tools and telematics, compare policies, and manage costs - especially for young drivers.
Audible car alarms still exist, but false alarms and alarm fatigue limit their effectiveness. Modern vehicle security favors engine immobilizers, telematics, GPS tracking, and smartphone alerts. A layered approach - immobilizer plus tracking and good habits - provides better protection than a siren alone.
Modern GPS telematics give fleets real-time location, engine diagnostics, driver behavior tracking, geofencing, maintenance alerts, and integrations for dispatch and compliance. Deploy with clear policies to capture cost, safety, and service benefits.
Car insurers offer discounts for safe driving, vehicle safety features, bundling policies, and lifestyle factors. Ask your company which programs apply and compare quotes annually.
Modern phones improve GNSS tracking but still face signal loss, tampering, privacy and reliability issues. For critical or fleet uses, dedicated telematics remain the more robust choice.
Modern GPS and hybrid vehicle trackers provide real-time location, geofencing, motion alerts and recovery tools. Choose devices and services that match your vehicle type, coverage needs, and privacy and insurance requirements.
Modern attachments turn backhoes into multi-purpose machines - breaking, drilling, grappling, and milling - reducing fleet needs while increasing jobsite flexibility and safety requirements.
Modern vehicle rental software is cloud-first, mobile-enabled and integrates reservations, fleet management, payments and telematics to streamline operations and improve utilization.
Backhoes sell quickly because contractors and fleets keep them working; older models remain valuable for their durability and lower cost.
Automotive GPS uses satellite signals (and often multiple GNSS constellations) to provide meter-level positioning, real-time routing, traffic updates, and telematics for drivers and fleets. Modern systems combine on-board sensors and connected data for more reliable guidance.
Low-cost motorcycle insurance depends on your driving record, bike details, storage, age/experience, and coverage level. Use safety courses, security devices, telematics, and comparison tools to reduce premiums.
Caterpillar backhoes remain a versatile choice on modern jobsites. With modular attachments, quick couplers and integrated telematics, a few machines can handle digging, grading, material handling and more - reducing fleet size and downtime.
GPS vehicle tracking has moved beyond alarms to connected telematics that enable live tracking, stolen-vehicle recovery, geofencing, crash alerts, and remote services. Choose a system by balancing features, connectivity, installation, ongoing fees, and privacy.
Caterpillar (Cat) excavators come in sizes from compact to large, with modern cabs, a wide attachment ecosystem, and dealer-backed service to manage lifecycle costs.
The backhoe loader pairs a rear excavator arm with a front loader bucket, offering versatile, road-mobile capability for excavation and material handling. Modern machines add quick-coupler attachments, emissions-compliant engines, telematics, and improved operator ergonomics, making them a cost-effective choice for many contractors.
A long-haul driver reflects on poor organizational ethics across trucking - from trainers and dispatchers to union assignment practices - and how technology and personal choices changed his path.
Modern vehicle tracking combines GNSS positioning, cellular and satellite comms, and cloud telematics to deliver real-time location, geofencing, diagnostics and fleet intelligence for theft prevention and operational efficiency.
Caterpillar excavators and backhoes stay central to construction by combining modular attachments, digital tools, and robust design to handle digging, loading, demolition, and more.
