Here at WSI, our container transport company in Sydney must keep on top of many areas. When it comes to fuel costs, we have to be on the ball, ensuring our trucks are economical at all times. This way our costs are kept to a minimum and our customers are able to get the most value from our services.
Whether you are a car or truck driver, we all know that fuel costs are forever flucutating and here in Australia we pay a premium price. Studies show that 75 percent of Australian fleet businesses cite fuel reduction as one of their key priorities. With the price of fuel set to increase, transport busiensses such as our container transport company in Sydney are on the constant look out for solutions to reduce fuel wastage.
If not monitored effectively, fuel costs can get out of hand. Fuel cards available to employees are now being closely monitored across transport companies. Employees fuel cards should be monitored to ensure these cards are not used to fill up their personal vehicle. Also, employess may use the company vehicle out of work hours, making the company pay for personal fuel costs. Transport companiesbe aware of the actual fill up costs to keep company costs down in the way of fuel and also in regards to the wear and tear of company vehicles.
Vehicle tracking, is certainly a great way to overcome this problem. Businesses with fuel card integration will integrate fuel card usage data with a vehicle tracking system. This way companies can identify when the vehicle was not at the pump and when its assigned fleet card was used. A "fuel purchased" report provides transaction activity for each vehicle on demand without company managers haveing to wade through monthly fuel card bills. This report serves as a baseline for fuel usage improvements, which is essential for fleet managers trying to put a lid on fuel costs. This way they can use this data to pinpoint fuel-wasting, driving behaviours and inefficient vehicles.
