If you were a fleet manager last week on the East Coast you saw what was coming your way and hoped you had the right fleet management solutions in place for the unknown.
The biggest problem for most fleet manager was making sure that they were going to be able to get fleet fueling for their vehicles and diesel fuel prices weren’t really going to matter as much as normal.
We had staff last week calling our clients and emailing them updates on the storm. The plan was to make sure fuel card systems worked, fleet fuel cards worked, backup generators were filled with diesel fuel price that wasn’t over the top but sometimes you have to take what you can get.
During the weekend, our staff of fuel management experts was getting reports from several sources on the availability of fleet fueling at truck stop locations, card lock locations, power outages, mobile fueling companies. They communicated this information to a fleet manager in the area with any problems.
In these difficult fuel management situations, the companies that are best prepared and communicate the most are the ones that have the most positive impact on not have major fleet management and routing disruptions. As the storms begin to clear, it’s time to take stock of how good your fuel management program was during this critical time. In the days to come, it’s time to get back to diesel fuel prices and fuel saving. You can always call 267-482-6159 and we will help.
