A Trimble Case Study
Hirschbach Motor Lines, a refrigerated carrier with a fleet of more than 950 tractors, needed a better way to access daily local retail fuel prices and create fully automated fuel plans for each lane and vehicle. Trimble’s Expert Fuel solution was chosen to help streamline fuel planning and improve fuel compliance across the fleet.
Trimble integrated Expert Fuel with Hirschbach’s transportation management, dispatch, and mobile communications systems to deliver driver-specific fueling plans based on fuel levels, consumption, taxes, route factors, and terminal policies. The result has been estimated annual savings of $100,000 to $350,000, along with better fuel purchasing decisions, full visibility into discount and purchase data, and stronger leverage in retailer negotiations.
