Beachwood, OH - TMW Systems, Inc., the largest provider of enterprise management software to the transportation industry in North America, welcomes Salem Logistics, Inc. as a new customer of the Expert Fuel® fuel and route optimization software solution from recently acquired Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC). TMW Systems, Inc. now offers the full IDSC product line of optimization and decision support software engineered exclusively for the truckload carrier.

"Expert Fuel is a perfect fit for our advanced information technology platform by seamlessly integrating to our dispatch and mobile communications systems while contributing to our high-standards of customer service," said Kerry Yow, VP & CFO for Salem Logistics, Inc.
IDSC Expert Fuel is the leading fuel optimization solution designed specifically for truckload carriers and is proven to minimize fuel costs and out-of-route miles. Drivers receive a fuel and route plan at the time of dispatch that tells the driver to buy the maximum number of gallons where fuel is cheap and the minimum where fuel is expensive. Fuel plans are generated using best-in-class fuel pricing/routing data and IDSC's unique 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 Expert Fuel software not only provides fleets significant savings in diesel fuel cost, but also offers significant savings by reducing unnecessary or out-of-route miles by providing the most efficient route plan along with the optimized fuel plan-at the time of dispatch," said Dave Harris, VP of Sales for TMW's IDSC product lines.
