C.A.T. Chooses IDSC for Fuel Optimization
08.01.2005 Coteau-du-Lac, Quebec -

Canadian American Transportation, Inc. (C.A.T.), a 450 unit trucking company providing international truckload service throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico, has selected Expert Fuel® from the decision support suite of software by Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC). C.A.T. is adding Expert Fuel to their technology program to generate savings on fuel expenses.

Expert Fuel is designed to minimize fuel costs by providing an optimal fuel and route plan at the time of dispatch. By taking advantage of the constant variation of fuel price by geographic location and between fuel networks, Expert Fuel creates fuel savings by determining the appropriate fuel locations to utilize and the corresponding amount of fuel to be purchased at each. Expert Fuel currently saves existing customers between 4 and 11 cents per gallon, per truck.

"We are very excited to have our first Canadian customer with C.A.T. IDSC's Expert Fuel software will capitalize on their existing technology investments in Qualcomm mobile communications and state-of-the-art dispatch systems to generate considerable savings in diesel fuel expenses," said Dave Harris, Vice President of Marketing & Sales at IDSC.
