We're Ready for the Big 'W'

Hello All,

Many of us here in Michigan deem November the end of the road trip season and the start of the winter driving season. I'm sure we're not the only ones who share this sentiment as snow tends to get pretty prevalent in the Midwest and on the East Coast this time of year.

For those of us who are used to it (no disrespect to California and other "no snow" states), it signals a change in how we go about our daily business: we put away motorcycles, change fancy rims and tires to ones we don't mind getting chipped, and sometimes even put away our nicer vehicles for less attractive, yet equally roadworthy "beaters." It's our way. But most important, we are more careful about our driving habits, we monitor the weather and driving conditions more closely, and we look out for others in need on the road. This is also the Guidepoint way.

Just like you adjust your life for winter, we at Guidepoint adjust to ensure we are capable of being there when you need us. Training, schedules, staff levels and infrastructure capacity are all closely evaluated in anticipation of higher call volumes, more roadside assistance calls, and unfortunately, more accidents. Not only do our members have to manage hazards that plague drivers in winter; they have to deal with potential freezing temperatures and conditions that may cause other drivers not to see their stranded vehicle. So in order to prevent an already unfortunate incident from becoming worse, we have to respond efficiently, sending the assistance you need quickly.

While vehicle tracking is our core, ensuring your safety is our mission. Our ability to harness the power of GPS, as well as integrate with the latest smartphones and personal devices, means we can supply a blanket of protection, not only around your vehicle, but you as well.

A lot of you will be on the roads this month, traveling to spend time with family and friends in celebration of Thanksgiving. Plan additional time into your route, make sure your vehicle is properly maintained, drive carefully, and have fun! You can rest assured that we'll be along for the ride.

Stay safe!
