Case Study: Parks & Sons achieves $150,000 in fuel savings with GPS Insight

Parks & Sons Saves $150,000 in Fuel Costs After Implementing GPS Insight

Parks & Sons is a family‑owned waste and recycling hauler in Sun City, Arizona with a fleet of over 75 vehicles and more than 50 years in business. Rapid growth across the Phoenix area had made dispatching complex: supervisors relied on CB radio and phones to locate trucks across 50–65 routes, leading to overlapping routes, wasted vehicle time and fuel, and higher operating costs.

Parks & Sons installed GPS Insight on 60 of their busiest vehicles, giving dispatchers a birds‑eye view, route‑replay tools, and easy data integration with a custom maintenance app. The change cut dispatcher workload, eliminated route overlaps, improved fleet visibility, and delivered about $150,000 in fuel savings in the first year while enabling better maintenance and service expansion.
