Fleet operating costs include absolutely all the financial expenditures associated with running a fleet of vehicles – such as fuel, routine (including preventive maintenance), insurance, licensing, depreciation (for owned vehicles), driver employment costs, and all related work expenses (including payroll taxes and benefits), and overhead/administrative expenses. Good management of these costs by fleet operators is what keeps businesses in the black and on the road.

TruckX supplies fleet managers with a complete package to help keep operating costs under control. The main expense for fleets is fuel. TruckX’s telematics and routing systems enable fleet managers to both monitor and lower usage of fuel, by calculating the shortest route between stops, taking the best traffic flow into account, and having the ability to reduce the amount of idling between stops to ‘warm’ the truck up for the next leg, while also nudging drivers into more fuel-efficient behaviors. In doing so, the fleet consumes less fuel, reducing its operating costs and its carbon footprint.

Second, economy of fleet operating cost. Another key component of controlling fleet operating costs is vehicle maintenance. TruckX provides automated maintenance alerts and scheduling tools to help fleet managers stay on top of their general maintenance schedule, which will curb costly breakdowns and extend the life of vehicles. In addition, frequent maintenance allows your vehicles to perform at maximum engine efficiency, optimizing operating costs.
