“With Expert Fuel we’re spending less by optimizing purchases based on our discounts with providers and the variance in network prices. The optimizer is essential for matching a truck’s route with optimal fuel stops. In our fleet, which uses 500,000 gallons of fuel each month, Expert Fuel is giving us the ability to generate savings of $25,000 each month.”

“Quick analysis of pending costs and how they relate to the budget, the ability to anticipate what our estimate at completion is going to be and the ability to identify where we need to request more budget allows us to develop consistent cost cutting measures. This is a key, long-term benefit from our Proliance software.”

"Needless to say, maximizing earthworks done in October, November and December was a necessity on this project. We regularly use Trimble machine control and site position systems supplied by KOREC so we knew a project like this would be much more lengthy, costly, and virtually impossible, with traditional grading and staking methods."

“In the network information, you have the picture of the car and by tapping it, you can straight navigate with Google Maps. And the maps are really clear and easy, and you can, for example, choose the base you like to use, whether that be the satellite picture or just the basic map.”

“In just under two year, we’ve brought our driver out of service down to 35%.”

“We can see the estimated KPIs by outage on the outage management list, and we can prioritize the faults by those calculations."

“We installed PeopleNet in 2003 to increase our efficiency. We saw a trend beginning to develop that indicated companies preferred transportation partners with mobile communications in their vehicles.”

“Our initial goal was was to raise MPG by .2 to .3 of a mile. But we ultimately killed it with with MPG that was nearly 30 percent better. PeopleNet reports that are based on vehicle management data helped us identify driver behaviors we could manage to drive MPG improvements. The next important step was get inside drivers’ heads.”

"We are thrilled with our decision to go with Trimble."

“I predict that it will become a common, indispensible tool. Maintenance needs change every day, and in order to stay on top of them, we need to be as smart as the equipment we’re running. Fault codes keep us a step ahead of the game in preventing a great majority of huge repairs or unnecessary load interruptions and trips to the shop.”

“The email provides additional information, such as the severity level of the fault code, odometer speed, and GPS location. We have a more comprehensive view that helps us make better decisions about what action, if any, should be taken.”

“The impact on MPG performance was so amazing that we kept the program by offering a Harley Davidson motorcycle each quarter to the winner. To qualify, drivers must also meet certain criteria, like drive a minimum number of miles, no unwarranted load refusals, no driver-responsible accidents and meet DOT regulations and on-time requirements.”

“We will also get some future benefits out of this that we haven't seen yet.”

"That has been a big, big win for our members, and also for our communications team."

"PeopleNet is bringing us closer to a paperless environment. Our MPG progress is exceptional, and we’re reducing our cost per unit as well. Our integrated environment through PeopleNet and our back-office software is helping us increase our payload with the least amount of energy and waste. We continue to do cost/benefit analyses on our routes and deliveries with the data PeopleNet provides. We’re much better about shipping the right products from the right locations. We’ve learned that in some cases adding a second delivery to a customer may actually save 800 miles."
