OUR OTHER FLEET SITES

Re: What some fleets are doing...

What has worked well for us is we installed GPS units on all our vehicles. We did this covertly without telling any of our drivers.

This allowed us to:

 - track fuel purchases (we found drivers filling up their personal vehicles; truck was at another location when his fuel card was used)

- keep speeding to a minimum (speeding drivers  are not only a safety concern but we saved fuel by keeping drivers at the speed limit)

 - improper vehicle use (drivers using vehicles outside of company time)

 - drivers outside of where they should be

 - dispatching of the closest vehicle to a job

I would strongly recommend fleet managers look into and install GPS devices on some or all of your fleet vehicles. Once you install a few units and can monitor where drivers are at, you will want one for all your vehicles.

There are many companies out there and most offer similar features. We use Vehiclepath. They have been reliable and are one of the more cost effective solutions.

Re: What some fleets are doing...

It would seem that the most logical way to reduce fuel costs is giving the drivers, those who can make the biggest difference, an incentive to do so.

Step #1: Training for drivers which explains the how and why of fuel savings. Get them involved in the whole concept.

Step#2: Create a program where drivers are recognized and rewarded in various ways for improved fuel usage and for ideas that will reduce fuel usage for the fleet.

Odds are there are several percentage points of improvement just sitting there with the drivers....management needs to take the time to get them.
