Staggering Fuel Prices Assault Your Business
Now, Fuel Savings Alone Justify Having A GPS Fleet Management Solution


Skyrocketing fuel prices have recently made history, shattering past records:

• The national average cost of fuel is hovering between $2.95 and $3.00 per gallon.
  
  
• Petroleum prices are up a whopping 45% compared to last year at this time.
  
  
• Diesel prices are up by 52% compared to the same period a year ago.
  
  
• Oil prices are currently at $65 per barrel and have gone as high as $70 in the last month.

What does this fuel price sticker shock mean for businesses like yours?

Just read what the American Trucking Association (ATA) had to say about the impact of rising fuel costs on the service and fleet industry:

“We are now at a critical point for the industry in terms of fuel prices. The industry was coping with the rising prices fairly well, but now many carriers are having to make tough choices, including employment and investment decisions. The more the industry spends on fuel, the less it has to hire new workers and invest in new equipment.”

—ATA Chief Economist, Bob Costello

One of the best ways to combat this alarming rise in fuel cost is with
a powerful GPS fleet management system.

Your Can't Afford to Pass Up Fuel Savings of 15% to 20%!

A GPS solution for fleet operations uses signals and data from multiple Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) in space to determine a vehicle's location anywhere on Earth. By focusing on GPS data that monitors vehicle speeding, idle times and service call maximization, your business can experience tremendous fuel savings.

In the case of FleetBoss clients like an Orlando-based towing company,
many FleetBoss GPS solutions users have achieved fuel savings reaching 15%, 20% or more.

Sobering Fleet Fuel Usage Facts

When you consider the following fuel usage facts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), fuel savings alone justify your looking into the purchase of a GPS fleet management solution.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), fuel consumption increases almost 2% for each mile per hour above 50. Consider the even higher cost to your business in fleet fuel costs when your drivers average more than 55 mph on the road:

• 55 mph = 7% in increased fuel costs
• 60 mph = 14% in increased fuel costs
• 70 mph = 23% in increased fuel costs
• 80 mph = 34% in increased fuel costs

The U.S. DoE also asserts that running a fleet vehicle at idle speed dramatically reduces your fleet vehicle's engine life.

• Just 60 minutes of idling time is equivalent to 80 to 120 minutes of driving time.
• Excessive idling can waste up to 800 gallons of fuel annually for the average truck.
