Case Study: Paschall Truck Lines achieves significant fuel-cost savings and optimized fueling with Trimble's Expert Fuel

Paschall Truck Lines - Customer Case Study

Paschall Truck Lines (PTL), a Kentucky-based carrier in business for more than 70 years with nearly 1,700 power units, had relied on static maps of approved fuel stops and negotiated discounts that didn’t reflect daily local wholesale and retail price swings. Management needed timely, local price data to confirm real savings, since even a few cents per gallon across their fleet materially affected fuel costs.

PTL deployed Trimble Transportation’s Expert Fuel to download daily local pricing and automatically generate best-cost fueling and route plans. The solution delivered significant annual savings, strengthened vendor negotiations, and enforces compliance by giving drivers highway-by-highway directions, purchase quantities and monitoring while factoring in fuel levels, consumption, taxes and routing policies.
