Case Study: Oil & Gas Company achieves $477,000 projected cost savings with Element Fleet Management

Truck Consultants in-field Study Identifies Cost Saving Opportunities

Oil & Gas Company engaged Element Fleet Management’s truck consulting team to provide third‑party strategic consulting for its in‑house garage operations. Element’s on‑site reviews across multiple shops uncovered excess inventory, no tire policy, inconsistent use of maintenance software, uneven mechanic training, lack of centralized purchasing, missing preventive maintenance checklists and safety practice discrepancies.

Element Fleet Management recommended keeping only repetitive parts on hand, routine tire pressure checks, vendor consolidation and corporate vendor negotiation, mandatory use of the maintenance system, consistent mechanic training, preventive maintenance checklists and monthly OSHA‑linked safety meetings. Implementing these recommendations is projected to save the Oil & Gas Company $477,000 across its 34 locations and 700 vehicles in tires, parts, preventive maintenance, training, tools and safety changes.
