Case Study: Tommy Rooter Plumbing achieves $1,500/month in fuel savings with FleetLocate

Vehicle Plumbing Service Saves $1,500/Month with FleetLocate

Tommy Rooter Plumbing, a Coachella Valley drain-cleaning and general plumbing service with nine technicians and an 11-vehicle fleet, faced poor visibility into field staff across the 303-square-mile service area. Managers couldn’t reliably track who was nearest to jobs, technicians were driving long distances between home and work, and inefficient routing and unmonitored driver behavior were driving up fuel costs and response times.

After implementing FleetLocate by Spireon, Tommy Rooter gained real-time location intelligence to dispatch the nearest technician, provide directions to unmapped roads, and monitor speeding and hard braking. The system reduced fuel use and improved dispatch efficiency—Tommy credits FleetLocate with cutting fuel expenses by about $1,500 and says the solution has paid for itself while also improving breakdown response and overall fleet oversight.
