O&S Trucking, a 310 unit trucking company utilizing ShowMe Software's dispatch system and providing service throughout the United States and Canada, announced today the adoption of Expert FuelŪ from the decision support suite of Integrated Decision Support Corporation.
Expert FuelŪ is designed to minimize fuel costs by providing an optimal fuel plan at the time of dispatch. By taking advantage of the variation of fuel price by geographic location and between fuel networks, Expert FuelŪ creates fuel savings by determining the appropriate fuel locations to utilize and the corresponding amount of fuel to be purchased at each. Expert FuelŪ currently saves existing IDSC clients between .04 and .10 cents per gallon.
"O&S Trucking has been exploring ways to assist in reducing our fuel expenses for some time. We believe that Expert FuelŪ will help us significantly lower our fueling costs. While IDSC's fuel solution is the result of some complex algorithms, they use a lot of common sense to how they approach the problem. It's nice to work with a software provider who truly understands trucking operations", said Eric O'Neal, Fuel Logistics/Warehousing Manager for O&S Trucking. "Because the fuel solution is sent, via Qualcomm, directly to the truck, the process is simple and seamless for our drivers and internal associates."
"We are very excited about O&S Trucking's decision to utilize IDSC's Expert FuelŪ software. Expert FuelŪ is a powerful client server application which will provide exceptional savings on O&S's fuel purchases", said Kevin Smith, Area Sales Manager at IDSC. "We are proud to be associated with O&S Trucking and a quality dispatch provider such as ShowMe Software."
