Identifying Driver Idling In The Fight Against
High Fuel Bills

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, running a vehicle at idle speed dramatically reduces engine life.

Just 60 minutes of idling burns over 2 gallons of fuel!

Excessive idling can waste up to 800 gallons of fuel annually for the average truck!

FleetBoss Idling Solution:

Without their FleetBoss GPS system, clients previously had no way of effectively identifying the idling time of their vehicles.

Now FleetBoss Series 5500™ clients have a valuable reports that provide a quick, easy way monitoring idle time for fuel savings and the prevention of unnecessary wear and tear on their vehicles' engines.

The report above shows that a driver had 18 minutes of idle at one Location Address. Fleet Managers can use this report to learn where the driver was and why he engaged in idling for such a long period of time. If the idle was unnecessary or unapproved, managers can encourage drivers to adopt a money saving, minimum idle policy.

The above screen shot shows a yellow circle symbol that pinpoints the exact location where a driver's vehicle idling occurred. When clients start calculating the actual cost of unnecessary idling, these reports become a powerful fuel cost savings tool.

Using their FleetBoss GPS solutions, many companies have discovered that as many as 50% of their vehicles have high idle times. After recognizing this waste and taking steps to control it, the savings turned immediately into a healthier corporate bottom line!
