Bloomfield, CT - August 17, 1998 -- In July, Prophesy Transportation Software, Inc. added 23 trucking companies to their list of clients who use FuelLogic to cut fuel costs. Their latest FuelLogic customers range from a small trucking company with seven trucks to large companies with over 150 trucks. These companies are saving money on their fuel purchases as they run routes locally as well as from coast-to-coast.

The following are actual examples of how some FuelLogic users are already saving money by using FuelLogic. A company with 30 trucks regularly drives between Maine and Texas and between Maine and Florida. After comparing their actual fuel purchases with the fuel stop and purchase amounts recommended by FuelLogic, they estimated that they will save 17 percent and 13 percent respectively on these two routes.

A company with ten trucks drives between Texas and New York twice a week. They estimate that they will save 16 percent on fuel costs by using the fuel stops recommended by FuelLogic. They will also save an additional $5,600.00 per truck a year by driving the recommended route and reducing their out-of-route miles.

Another company with ten trucks compared their driver's fuel stops with those recommended by FuelLogic for a round trip route between Montreal, Quebec and Chicago, Illinois. Their estimated fuel savings on this route will be 10 percent. A company with regular routes from Colorado to California with stops in Utah and Nevada estimated that their fuel savings on this route is 11 percent. A route between Chicago and Atlanta was tested by another trucking company and they discovered that they will save $76.80 on each trip by using a more practical route generated by FuelLogic and eliminating the 96 out-of-route miles they regularly drive.

Industry experts agree that computerized fuel optimization is an effective way to cut fuel costs. "It's impossible to achieve the lowest average fuel purchase costs possible by either guessing or filling up at truck stops out of habit", says Charles Campbell, President of North American Technology in Birmingham, Alabama. The veteran fuel consultant for the transportation industry also said, "Given the large number of factors involved in routing and fuel purchase decision making, computerized fuel optimization programs are excellent tools for controlling operating costs."

Other industry experts, such as Stephen Gloyd, Director of OPIS Transportation agree with Campbell. Gloyd said, "OPIS is excited to be part of FuelLogic, the first high quality, low cost fuel optimization system. In the past, such a powerful tool was reserved for big players. Now, small to mid-sized trucking companies can access OPIS data and make intelligent decisions when planning fuel routes."

Mark E. Derks, Manager of Online & Information Services at T-Chek Systems also agrees with Campbell and stated, "The FuelLogic route and fuel optimization program offered by Prophesy Transportation Software can provide substantial fuel and out-of-route savings to any fuel management program." Derks went on to say, "Carriers can benefit from this state-of-the-industry technology because it provides true optimization solutions and is offered at an equitable service cost. Because FuelLogic integrates T-Chek/AXXIS diesel pricing and amenities, it is a complete fuel management solution that every carrier should consider having and most certainly could afford."

Fuel optimization systems can result in a significant reduction in fuel costs, but this critical money saving fuel purchase information is only valuable if it is passed from the dispatcher to the driver. Prophesy's new mobile communications link enables trucking company dispatchers, using mobile communications systems from companies such as Highway Master, Qualcomm and PeopleNet, to send driving directions, fuel stops and purchase amount information, created with FuelLogic, directly to drivers in their trucks. Dispatchers and drivers currently using the mobile communications link are pleased with its ease of use and resultant fuel savings.

Starting as low as $3,000, FuelLogic has broken the price barrier for top quality fuel optimization systems. Unlike previous software designed for large trucking companies, FuelLogic was developed as a tool that is affordable to the entire industry.

FuelLogic was designed to minimize fuel costs and reduce out-of-route miles on each trip. It reviews all potential fuel stops along the most practical driving route and (based on current price information, downloaded daily from the Internet) selects the most economic stops and specifies the amount of fuel to purchase at each stop to minimize the average cost of fuel for the entire trip. Potential fuel stops can include either all truck stops in North America or a user-defined selection. FuelLogic will reduce your average fuel costs by as much as eight cents per gallon.
