Berry and Smith Trucking, LTD Selects Expert Fuel Optimization Software from IDSC
08.13.2007 Richardson, TX -

Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC), a leading provider of optimization and decision support software exclusively for the truckload carrier, welcomes Berry and Smith Trucking, LTD as a new customer of the Expert Fuel® fuel and route optimization solution. Established in 1954, Berry and Smith Trucking is a regional Western Canada and United States carrier specializing in over-the-road and intermodal transportation services.

"IDSC's Expert Fuel clearly showed where we could be saving money in fuel purchase costs--whether fuel prices are high or low and whether we buy in network or out," said Dorothy Vankoughnett, Controller and IT Manager for Berry and Smith Trucking, LTD.

Expert Fuel is the leading fuel optimization solution designed specifically for truckload carriers and is proven to minimize fuel costs and out-of-route miles. Drivers receive a fuel and route plan at the time of dispatch that tells the driver to buy the maximum number of gallons where fuel is cheap and the minimum where fuel is expensive. Fuel plans are generated using best-in-class fuel pricing/routing data and IDSC's unique algorithm to calculate all essential factors?in real-time, and in a matter of seconds. All relevant route and vehicle factors are considered in the solution including: current fuel prices, fuel level, vehicle fuel consumption, state tax implications, fuel network implications, out-of-route miles, route policies, terminal fueling policies, tank fill policies, and driver amenities.

"IDSC's Expert Fuel customers achieve a fast ROI by seamlessly integrating with leading dispatch and mobile comm. technologies--and by instantly decreasing fuel costs, out-of-route miles and optimized toll-based routing," said Brandon Hodges, Area Sales Manager for IDSC.
