Q Carriers, Inc., a premier transportation company providing truckload carrier services, has announced their selection of Expert FuelŪ from Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC). Expert Fuel is the leading fuel optimization solution designed specifically for truckload carriers to minimize fuel costs and out-of-route miles.
"We chose Expert Fuel because it is a proven technology that greatly reduces fuel expenses whether diesel prices are high or low," said Greg Gorvin, President of Q Carriers, Inc.
Expert Fuel blends the technology power of existing dispatch and mobile communications systems with best-in-class fuel pricing and routing data to deliver drivers with optimized fuel purchase and route plans at the time of dispatch. Fuel plans are generated using IDSC's unique patent-pending 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 optimization system has earned a reputation for being the best in the industry by saving customers millions of dollars in fuel expenses every year," said Patrick Russell, Area Sales Manager for IDSC. "On average, customers realize savings of 4 cents per gallon on a closed network, and 8 cents per gallon on an open network. Savings are the same whether you buy 1 million gallons of fuel per year or per week."
