1. A method for efficiently managing tracked assets, comprising the steps of:

  • establishing a plurality of vehicle activity stages including a source geozone, a destination geozone, a source-destination transit geozone, and a destination-source transit geozone, wherein the source geozone represents a first geographic area, wherein the destination geozone represents a second geographic area, wherein the source-destination transit geozone represents a third geographic area connecting the first geographic area and the second geographic area, and wherein the destination-source transit geozone represents a fourth geographic area connecting the second geographic area and the first geographic area;

    periodically receiving sensed data from a sensor over a network, wherein the sensor is situated on an asset;

    storing the sensed data in a data store as stored data;

    generating a time bar display based on the stored data, wherein the time bar display depicts the asset'"'"'s location relative to the source geozone and the destination geozone;

    monitoring the time bar display for a deviation from a staggered operating pattern; and

    indicating on a display of the time bar assets that deviate from the staggered operating pattern, whereby the scheduling of the assets may be managed to reform the staggered operating pattern.
