Jennings added that technology such as GPS systems can make the dozer and the operator even more effective at moving dirt productively and efficiently. These systems decrease the time it takes to get to grade, which reduces staking and surveying costs, and virtually eliminate overcutting and the need for expensive fill.
“GPS systems and additional technologies continue to reduce owning and operating costs,” stated Jennings. “They are also helping new operators become productive faster. With a shortage of skilled operators, that’s a tremendous help.”
