5 Ways to Cut Fuel Costs Across Your Fleet

Fuel often makes up a big share of a fleet's operating costs, so small improvements add up fast. Here are five proven ways to stretch every gallon.

1. Manage idle time. Auxiliary power units and idle-shutdown settings keep cabs comfortable without burning fuel at a standstill.
2. Keep tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance. Weekly pressure checks pay for themselves.
3. Spec for your routes. The right engine rating, axle ratio and transmission make a real difference to fuel economy.
4. Use aerodynamics. Side skirts, trailer tails and cab extenders reduce drag at highway speeds.
5. Coach your drivers. Smooth acceleration, steady speeds and progressive shifting can improve mileage noticeably.
