Case Study: Recoil Oilfield Services achieves $200K+ annual fuel tax savings, lower costs and improved productivity with EROAD

Recoil Oilfield Services uses EROAD to reduce costs, improve productivity and reduce fuel taxes by more than $200k per year

Recoil Oilfield Services, a Blanchard, Oklahoma–based oilfield services company operating about 80 heavy‑duty trucks (with rapid growth and expansion into TX and NM), needed a simpler way to capture location, mileage, fuel and Hours of Service data for trucks that spend days to weeks on job sites. Recoil sought faster fuel tax reporting, accurate off‑road mileage capture for tax exemptions, improved safety and insurance performance, better maintenance recordkeeping to cut costs, reliable tracking for vehicles that don’t return to a yard, and an easy‑to‑use ELD that supports oilfield exemptions — needs it could not meet with its prior telematics provider, so it evaluated multiple vendors before choosing EROAD.

EROAD deployed its TotalFleet suite — including a 100% compliant ELD, Electronic Tax Management, Inspect/DVIR, fleet tracking (cellular + satellite), fuel management and reporting — and worked with Recoil on a customized ELD for light‑duty trucks. The results: quarterly fuel‑tax reporting time dropped from three weeks to two days, administrative savings of a few thousand dollars per month, fuel tax savings of at least $200,000 annually, a 7% reduction in insurance premiums, $3,000/month saved via DVIR and maintenance recordkeeping, more accurate minute‑level vehicle tracking, and improved HOS compliance and driver productivity using EROAD’s customized solution.
