Schneider National, Inc., a leading provider of premium truckload and intermodal transportation solutions, has named Integrated Decision Support Corporation of Richardson, Texas, as its provider of choice for fuel optimization solutions.
Integrated's fuel optimization system, Expert FuelŪ, will be integrated directly into Schneider's proprietary dispatch system to provide an optimal fuel purchase plan to any driver at the time of dispatch. The system minimizes fuel costs by maximizing fuel purchases at locations which are lower cost and minimizing purchases at locations which are higher cost. It also provides the driver with the route and thus reduces out-of-route miles.
"After a thorough evaluation of Expert FuelŪ and competing technologies, we selected Integrated Decision Support software, because it will integrate seamlessly with our existing methods and systems. While we have a very efficient fuel network, we expect to further reduce our fuel costs by taking advantage of where to buy the lowest cost fuel on each dispatch," said Max Pietsch, regional director of operations for Schneider National, Inc.
"We are very pleased with Schneider National's decision to install the Expert Fuel system," said Dr. Rick Murphy, president of Integrated Decision Support Corporation. The management team at Schneider National is recognized in the industry as a very sophisticated group when it comes to fuel management and using decision support software for maximum effect. I expect them to provide valuable insight into the continuous product improvement we embrace."
