McGriff Transportation, Inc., a prominent Southern motor carrier serving the entire forty-eight states, has selected Expert Fuel® and Out-of-Route/Estimated Time of Arrival Alert® (OOR/ETA Alert) transportation software from Integrated Decision Support Corporation (Integrated).
"We anticipate Expert Fuel and OOR/ETA Alert will help us continue to lower our cost of fuel as well as raise the visibility of our fleet," said Dwayne Hood, VP/GM of McGriff Transportation, Inc. "We are continually looking for opportunities to improve productivity and lower costs. This investment will accomplish both while assisting our team in providing an even higher level of service to McGriff customers."
Expert Fuel is the premier real-time fuel optimization program providing drivers with guidance on the route to run and the fuel stops to make in order to maximize fuel savings and minimize out-of-route miles. Customers can expect a savings of 4 to 11 cents per gallon per truck, and more when fuel prices are volatile. Expert Fuel considers all relevant fuel issues including tax and network implications, route, terminal fueling & tank fill policies and driver amenities -- all within seconds and at the time of dispatch.
OOR/ETA Alert is a real-time management tool that interfaces with Expert Fuel and the mobile communications system to determine if a driver is out-of-route and/or is going to be late. OOR/ETA Alert doubles return on investment by tracking high-value cargo and hazmat security while reducing costs in out-of-route miles. OOR/ETA Alert also offers proactive swap opportunities for improving equipment and driver utilization and customer service.
"Our software is engineered to drive profitability while meeting customer demands," said Dave Harris, Director of Sales for Integrated. "We are pleased to work with McGriff and are committed to supporting their business goals."
