(Bloomfield, CT -- September 4, 2008) Without question, two critical areas for today's trucking company owner are controlling fuel costs, and receiving their payments quickly and on time. Increasingly, savvy trucking company owners are using technology in innovative ways to help in these areas and make their trucking businesses more "green" at the same time.
Lowering Fuel Costs and Reducing Fuel Consumption
A good Fuel Optimization solution allows your trucking company to find the best truck stop fuel prices along each route, typically providing significant fuel savings per gallon and reducing out-of-route miles by as much as 25%. While we can't control the price of diesel fuel, we can use smart tools to get the most mileage out of every dollar. Prophesy has been an innovator in this area since introducing our FuelLogic solution in 1996. In these times, tried and true solutions like these are must-haves for many trucking companies. A pleasant "green" side effect is that less fuel is used overall and trucking companies can take pride in doing their part for the environment.

Getting Paid Faster and Improving Cash Flow
Another headache for trucking businesses during tight economic times is getting their invoices and open receivables paid as quickly as possible. Most trucking companies have instituted fuel surcharges, which makes it more critical than ever to get paid quickly to help cash flow. Many trucking companies are eliminating the paper shuffle altogether by implementing EDI and/or a Document Imaging system. This enables them to instantly bill customers as well as to scan and store PODs, BOLs, Freight Bills, Confirmations, and all other critical trip documents, so that they are available to email to customers as soon as the load is complete or any other times when paperwork is requested. By billing and scanning documents electronically, these companies not only increase efficiency but shorten the payment cycle significantly. The added "green" benefit here is of course far less paper, postage, ink, and envelopes used.
