If a company currently uses no management system and is operating on paper tickets, they are not controlling their fuel. You receive fuel from your fuel supplier but the only way that you know how much went IN to the tank is by the Bill of Laden. How do you know that the amount that went in to the tank is the exact amount on the bill? When the drivers write down the amount of fuel from the register on a paper ticket, how do you know that they only used that amount of fuel? How do you know that they put the fuel in your truck? How do you know that the driver is not siphoning fuel out of your tank? If fuel was only $1.75 per gallon, it would still be an issue but with fuel costs rising to $3.75, it has become a real problem.
The only way to know is to monitor. The only way to monitor is to install a fuel management system that keeps track of every drop of fuel. Savings of a minimum of 5% are commonly realized by companies moving from a manual paper ticket system to SCI's wireless Fuel Management system. That savings alone pays for the system within a year and usually in about 6 months. After that, you KNOW where your fuel dollar is going and you can control it. That's peace-of-mind! That's SCI, Smart Customer Integration. Check out SCI's website at www.sciww.com
