Case Study: Pitman Family Farms achieves safer, more efficient fleet operations and $150,000/year in fuel tax reimbursements with Zonar Systems

Pitman Family Farms - Customer Case Study

Pitman Family Farms, a family-owned poultry processor operating since 1954 with a 125‑truck fleet, faced challenges with paper-based hours-of-service logs, manual pre/post-trip inspections, limited visibility into driver behavior and vehicle performance, and difficulty tracking apportioned-plate and off‑highway miles for fuel tax reimbursement. Fleet manager Antonio Cisneros needed a more intuitive, accurate way to ensure compliance, safety and fuel efficiency.

They implemented Zonar’s telematics and fleet solutions — including Zonar Logs, EVIR inspections, TCUs, Ground Traffic Control, Zonar Coach and ZFuel, plus Detroit Virtual Technician — and integrated the data with maintenance software. The switch eliminated paper, enabled geofencing and verified digital inspections, supported in-cab coaching with event-triggered dashcams, improved route and fuel insights, and recovered nearly $150,000 per year in fuel tax reimbursements while delivering HoS compliance, reliable tracking and safer, more efficient operations.
