High Country Transportation, Inc. is a leading carrier delivering payload capacity to 48 states and Canada with Flatbed and Dry Bulk Service. High Country has licensed Expert Fuel® optimization software from Integrated Decision Support (Integrated) to take full advantage of the variance in fuel prices by pinpointing exact vendors, locations and purchase amounts -- resulting in maximized fuel savings at the point of purchase.
"Minimizing costs is a key to profitability," said Kirk Crowley, of High Country Transportation, Inc. "We are using the Expert Fuel technology to lower our fuel cost per gallon, reduce out-of-route miles and provide an efficient fuel plan for our drivers. Expert Fuel also enhances buying leverage for negotiating higher discounts."
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. Other functions that this product offers are detailed routing and the ability to have multiple fuel networks with different discount structures. Expert Fuel integrates with any host dispatch, mobile communications provider or routing software.
"We are thrilled about High Country's decision to utilize our fuel optimization solution," said Dave Harris, Vice President of Sales for Integrated. "Our customers are enjoying a fast return on investment by instantly minimizing fuel costs and controlling out-of-route miles."
