Dick Lavy Trucking, a leading truckload carrier offering shipping services to thirty-two states covering the Midwest, East and Souteast, has selected Expert Fuel®, Out-of-Route/Estimated Time of Arrival Alert® and Netgraf® transportation optimization software from Integrated Decision Support (Integrated).
"We expect Expert Fuel and Out-of-Route/ETA Alert to help us significantly lower our costs in fuel and out-of-route miles," said Dick Lavy, President of Dick Lavy Trucking, Inc. "Our investment in mobile communication and dispatch technology will be further leveraged with optimization tools allowing our drivers and management team to offer continued improved efficiency, service and security to our customers."
Through real-time optimization, Expert Fuel determines where to buy fuel at the lowest cost by providing drivers with guidance on which route to run, the fuel stops to make, and the amount of fuel to purchase in order to maximize fuel savings and minimize out-of-route miles. Expert Fuel currently saves existing customers between 4 and 11 cents per gallon of diesel fuel per truck. OOR/ETA Alert is a real-time management tool engineered to minimize out-of-route miles and service failures. It automatically notifies the fleet manager or dispatcher of out-of-route and/or projected late power units based on the planned routing. By using these two products jointly, customers will see a substantial reduction in their costs.
The complete suite of software products from Integrated interfaces with Netgraf®, a powerful geographical information system that displays fuel networks, purchase information and real-time information on out-of-route trucks and late loads on a graphical display.
"We are excited about Dick Lavy's decision to utilize our fuel and out-of-route optimization software," said Kevin Smith, Area Sales Manager for Integrated. "Our customers are seeing a fast return on investment by instantly minimizing fuel costs and controlling out-of-route miles. Motor carriers that are taking advantage of this type of technology are seeing substantial results in improved profitability, minimized cost, fewer late loads, and higher visibility & security of high value and hazmat loads."
