Fueled by data: Betancourt looks to recreate fuel management niche

摘要

A driver for a company's dry van division arrives at a terminal with a mechanical problem. To use the driver's remaining hours, a manager seats him in a different truck to deliver a refrigerated load. A few miles later, he pulls into a truckstop, swipes his fuel card and fills up. The transaction details - gallons, fuel location, price, driver name, etc. - are sent to the carrier. Everything about the transaction seems routine. No one notices that the gallons were applied to the vehicle in the shop. The mpg and fuel tax calculations for both vehicles are incorrect, and the company's dry van division pays for the fuel used by the refrigerated division.
