So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Benefits Of Fleet Fuel Management Solutions

By Eloise Hewitt


People need to move from one place to another for various reasons. The cost of transportation has risen to unmanageable heights. This is raising concerns and people are devising ways of dealing with the rising costs. In older times, the cost of running vehicles was not very high and people were not concerned about it. In a bid to control and manage the costs associated with transportation, people are investing in fleet fuel management solutions. There are various systems in the market you can invest in.

The solution allows the transporter to enjoy a variety of benefits. All those involved in the transportation need to be involved in developing the solution and in its implementation and execution as well. When transport costs get out of hand, the effects will not be good for all those involved. Therefore, everyone is duty bound to perform their part and ensure the costs are controlled.

Driving at high speed is not only dangerous but also leads to high gas consumption. When more diesel is burned in the engine, high levels of toxic gases are released into the atmosphere. This is dangerous to the environment. The system should include having speed controllers fitted in all the vehicles. This allows them to move within speed range that has been discussed and agreed upon.

The engine should be switched off unless the vehicle is in motion. Engine idling may seem to be harmless, but has very serious effects in the long run. It limits the life of your engine oil which means you will have to replace it more often. Because of this, the cost of running the vehicle will be increased. Any method that will help improve efficiency should be employed.

Some transporters think that they can make more money by carrying excessive loads. This is a lie that causes more damage that the gain. When the load capacity of the vehicle is exceeded, more strain is exerted on the engine. The vehicle will need more diesel to move and the engine is more likely to develop problems. When this happens, you will have to incur more repairs expenses.

Always ensure your tires are properly inflated. Properly inflated tires improve diesel efficiency. The tires will last longer once they are inflated as recommended. You will also be able to brake and slow the vehicle more safely. This reduces the chances of causing accidents that might lead into huge losses of property and lives.

Modern engines are made with very high efficiency. They are able to use modern fuels which improve the performance of the vehicle. When you intend to invest in a new fleet, consider vehicles with modern energy efficient engines. You may be required to pay more for them initially but you will reap a lot more in the end.

Your solution will not work unless you have proper records. The records will help you identify areas where you need to make improvements. Gathering information about your fleet plays a vital role when it comes to planning various trips. Proper route planning reduces unnecessary expenses and improves the general productivity of the business.
