5 Strategies to Reduce Fleet Fuel Spend in 2019
16 Jan 2019As 2018 comes to an end, fleet owners are looking for new tools and tactics to use to help reduce their costs in the coming year. These five strategies will help you reduce your fleet fuel spend in 2019 and beyond.
- Consider Greening Your Fleet
What this means is that as you choose new vehicles for your fleet, consider adding hybrid vehicles that operate more fuel efficiently or downsizing to smaller vehicles for your fleet that consume less fuel on a day-to-day basis. This will help you reduce the amount of fuel your fleet uses and may even help defray some of the costs associated with investing in new vehicles. Another way to green your fleet is to choose vehicles with alternative or bio-fuels. Not only are they better for your fuel economy, but they are also much better for the planet, too.
- Practice Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance keeps your fleet vehicles operating like finely tuned machines. This means the engines do not need to work as hard or burn as much fuel in order to function. It is a key factor in priming your vehicles for optimal fuel consumption and can save your fleet a ton of money in excess fuel and costly, preventable, repairs. Not to mention unnecessary vehicle downtime.
After their van and equipment was stolen, a central Indiana band was forced to stop working for the time being.
Daniel and David Deputy, two brothers, lead the band Blank Pages. Last October, the two brothers loaded their van and trailer up with lights, props, instruments and other equipment for the music video they were going to shoot.
They came outside on October 4, only to find all of it was gone, including the van. Once they check with their family, they came to the realization it was stolen and they called the police.
What are Cognitive Distractions While Driving?
14 Jan 2019No matter how great a driver you are, whether your drive as a profession or personally, at some point you will experience a moment of “mental checking out” — meaning you’ll no longer be fully focusing on your driving.
In moments like these, drivers aren’t fully aware of their surroundings. They can easily miss that debris in the road or that oncoming car, leading to a crash and injuries or worse, death. Experts refer to this “mental checking out” as a cognitive distraction.
