Keeping track of the far-flung tank truck operations at Gibson Energy has become a lot easier. The company is in the final stages of installing a state-of-the-art customized fleet management, communication, and tracking system. That' s an important development because the company's fleet is spread across a large swath of western Canada. Tractor-trailer rigs involved in hauling crude oil may stay in the field for months before passing through a Gibson Energy terminal. "With this new system, we're gaining a wide range of benefits," says Larry T Bilton, manager of accounting and technology, truck transportation at Gibson Energy. "This includes enhanced customer service and relations, more timely information on shipments, and operating cost reductions. "Paperwork is one of the biggest challenges with a fleet operation like ours. New on-board communication is replacing the manual handling of more than 30,000 paper tickets (bills of lading) each month. It also will enable automation of driver logs."

机译：跟踪吉布森能源公司远程油罐车的运行变得非常容易。该公司正处于安装最先进的定制车队管理，通信和跟踪系统的最后阶段。这是一项重要的发展，因为该公司的机队遍布加拿大西部大片地区。涉及原油运输的拖挂式钻机在通过吉布森能源码头之前可能会在油田停留数月之久。吉布森能源（Gibson Energy）卡车运输的会计和技术经理拉里·T·比尔顿（Larry T Bilton）说：“借助这一新系统，我们将获得广泛的收益。” “这包括增强的客户服务和关系，更及时的装运信息以及降低运营成本。”文书工作是像我们这样的车队运营所面临的最大挑战之一。新的车载通信正在取代每月手动处理超过30,000张纸质票据（提货单）的问题。它还将使驱动程序日志自动化。”
