Good Planning Can Reduce Carhauler Fuel Costs

Image via WikipediaI read in an article that Wal-Marts total energy savings program is beginning to pay off. The article claims that smart planning through better logistics has helped to mitigate the impact of fuel price increases by over 60%. Wow! I know Wal Mart had main strides in using alternative energy vehicles but had no idea that simple planning was making such a difference to their bottom line.

I think there is a lesson here for carhaulers and other car carriers. Good planning, in the form of proper maintenance and logistics, can make a massive difference in your fuel costs. Just sitting down and looking for simple ways for drivers to make better route choices and improved driving maneuvers can help you be more profitable. Its certainly something to think about…
