Case Study: Crown Uniform & Linen Service achieves 90% reduction in idling time with GPS to Go

How Geotab Reduced a Fleet’s Idling Time By 90%

Crown Uniform & Linen Service, a New England laundry and linen company with vehicles making 30–40 stops and traveling 100–150 miles per day, faced high fuel and environmental costs from extensive engine idling—about 70 minutes per vehicle per day on average (some drivers 2–5 hours). To tackle this, the company worked with GPS to Go and deployed Geotab GPS Fleet Tracking Devices to monitor and reduce idle time.

GPS to Go’s implementation of Geotab units in 30 service vehicles, combined with daily idling reports and manager-driven coaching, cut average idle time from 70 minutes to 7 minutes per day (a 90% reduction). That change is saving Crown Uniform & Linen Service roughly $1,500–$2,000 per month in fuel, and the company plans to expand the GPS to Go/Geotab program to its sales fleet for further savings.
