A Trimble Case Study
Bay & Bay Transportation, a dry van, refrigerated and bulk tank carrier, was grappling with rapidly rising diesel costs that threatened profitability and its mission to provide safe, consistent transportation. Even with fuel discounts, daily and monthly bills climbed across hundreds of power units and reefers, making fuel containment the company’s top operational challenge.
Bay & Bay implemented Trimble’s fuel purchase optimization software, integrating it with dispatch and mobile communications to generate real-time fuel purchase and route plans at dispatch. The automated system drove $70,000 in savings in one quarter, achieved 100% compliance with yard fueling, and evaluates ten variables (including fuel price, tank level, consumption, taxes, out-of-route miles and policy constraints) to continuously reduce fuel spend.
