Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC), a leading provider of optimization and decision support software exclusively for the truckload carrier, welcomes Central Oregon Truck Company, Inc. as a new customer of the Expert Fuel® and Trip Alert/Swap Advice® optimization software solutions. Central Oregon Truck Company, Inc. is the Northwest's premier flatbed trucking company operating 155 tractors/180 trailers throughout the 48 continental United States.
"We plan to utilize IDSC's solutions to significantly decrease fuel costs as well as maximize efficiency, driver satisfaction, security and customer service," said Rick Williams, President of Central Oregon Truck Company, Inc.
Expert Fuel is proven to save carriers significantly in fuel costs whether fuel prices are high or low by taking advantage of the variation in fuel prices by providing drivers with an optimized fuel plan, and by substantially minimizing out-of-route miles with an optimized route plan. Trip Alert/Swap Advice not only provides total visibility of assets and best-in-class exception and event management--it also increases driver time-at-home without impacting profit potential. Trip Alert automatically identifies the locations and times when two power units will be feasible to swap load assignments. Trip Alert recommends those swap opportunities, which improve utilization, on time performance, and driver home time. Trip Alert provides built-in capabilities to identify candidates for in-transit swaps--leveraging the data to maximize driver and equipment utilization, prevent service failures, and increase driver time at home.
"IDSC's Expert Fuel and Trip Alert/Swap Advice solutions provide customers with power-packed capabilities for control over their fuel programs and their total asset base," said Dave Harris, VP of Sales for IDSC. "This translates into significant cost savings and operational efficiency improvements."
