Challenge:
With each of the company’s small-container trucks racking up several hundred miles each day, Griffin Waste Services was paying a pretty penny in fuel and maintenance. The implementation of a Teletrac Navman fleet-management solution has helped this waste hauler efficiently track and retool its operation.
Through the use of the Teletrac Navman products and services, Griffin gained the fleet and mobile asset intelligence needed to generate massive savings.
Solution:
Robust reporting has helped the company detect excessive speeding and idling. Not only does this result in significant savings on fuel, it also means less wear and tear on vehicles and lower maintenance costs. Griffin dispatchers also employ Teletrac Navman GPS tracking tools to route the closest driver for the job, cutting down on miles driven. Overall, fuel and maintenance costs have gone down by more than 10%.
With Teletrac Navman geofence alerts, Griffin’s dispatcher can track when a truck arrives at the landfill, the moment the container is emptied and when the vehicle is ready. The company estimates Teletrac Navman GPS Tracking eliminates at least an hour of downtime per driver each day.
Results:
Since implementing Teletrac Navman's solutions, Griffin Waste saw improvements in many areas across the business including:
- Achieved a yearly savings of more than $160,000.
- Overall fuel savings of $750 per vehicle per month.
- Eliminated payroll disputes & optimized customer service through geofence reports monitoring the exact times a truck leaves and returns.
- 24/7 vehicle use monitoring enabled Griffin to ensure vehicles are used only when needed.
