JETT-Track GPS fleet service tracking units are helping customers save in one very important area these days: their fuel bill. Your company can save some serious coin on your fleet's fuel bill using our GPS tracking units and software.
How? We'll use a fleet of 45 service fleet vehicles in our examples below.
1. Speed alerts
Let's say JETT-Track catches five of your drivers consistently going 15 MPH over the highway speed limit (65 MPH) and another ten consistently going 10 MPH too fast. Fueleconomy.org reports that you pay an additional $.20 for every 5 MPH you drive over 60 MPH. So, those 15 drivers are costing you between 40 and 80 cents per gallon every day. Monitoring their driving can put an end to that.
This will save you an average of 15 you could be saving every month.
3. Catch employees stealing gas and/or using vehicles without authorization
Unfortunately, there are bound to be a few bad apples in a fleet of 45 drivers. Let's just say you have five. Two employees use a company gas card once per week for 10 free gallons in their own vehicles. Three drivers use their work trucks on weekends to run errands and work side jobs. How much does that cost you?
The unauthorized gas card usage: $320 per month at $4.00 per gallon.
The unauthorized vehicle usage: $200 per month (assumed) in additional fuel.
This saves you 2 per month.
We have summarized our findings below:
Vehicles 45
Gallons per driver/monthly 200
Monthly fleet fuel bill ($4.00/gallon) $36,000
- Reduced speed savings $5,400
- Reduced idling savings $1,800
- Unauthorized usage savings $720
- Better routing savings $2,880
TOTAL SAVINGS $10,800
