Saving those almighty bucks

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – Saving money can always benefit a business owner and often allows the trucker to reap some rewards, as well.

Cancom Tracking Solutions says it can help in this battle of the buck.

A truck will burn one U.S. gallon/hour while idling. Two hours of this idling time equals one hour of running time.

Also affecting fuel consumption by 20 per cent is driver performance. As the old adage goes, that which gets monitored, gets managed. And this useful information can be accessed through Cancom’s SensorTRACS.

SensorTRACS provides the information needed to increase fuel savings, reduce engine wear and improve driver performance by interfacing directly with vehicle inputs to provide rpm, speed and idle summaries.

The information is delivered to dispatch at customer-defined intervals or on demand. To find out more, call 800-478-9511.
