Fuel Efficiency
With unpredictable fuel prices, fleets and commercial carriers are searching for ways to boost operational efficiencies. Fuel accounts for as much as 25 percent of total operating costs for many fleets, and a 2 or 3 percent gain in fuel economy can make a big difference.
Finding ways to boost operational efficiencies does not have to be difficult. You can significantly improve your fleet's fuel economy by making informed equipment choices, spec'ing your trucks properly, offering drivers effective training and incentive programs, adopting efficient idle reduction strategies, and initiating skillful fuel purchases.
