A short YouTube video by Louis Massaro ("Lack of Crew Management [SHORT]") highlighting the financial and operational risks of poor crew management. The speaker stresses accountability for inventory (equipment on trucks), strict crew timekeeping and paperwork, and active dispatch/GPS monitoring — arguing that tight crew management and dispatch operations save substantial money and keep revenue in-house.
Lack of crew management. Meaning? Right, are we on top of the inventory? Right, on the trucks, all the equipment, the dollies, the pads, the straps, all of that. Nobody's accountable for that and you're just purchasing more. Purchasing more, Purchasing more or you're on top of that, right? What about your crews? Are they clocking themselves in and out? Are you giving them the paperwork and sending them out for the day and. Or are you having them check in with you? When, where? You're clocking them in, you're clocking them out, you're telling them how much to collect and you're making sure that if they clock out at 3 o', clock, you're looking at your GPS and you're seeing, okay, they left at 3 o'. Clock. All right, Tight crew management will save you a ton of money, so make sure you're on top of your crews. Running a tight dispatch operation is one of the best ways to keep all the money in house.
