Diesel prices have skyrocketed this year, and they're not likely to settle back down quickly.
In this episode of HDT Talks Trucking, Deborah Lockridge talks with Jenny Vander Zanden, COO of fuel-management company Breakthrough, about what’s behind the ongoing volatility in fuel markets and what fleets can do to manage it.
Trucking fleets have no control over geopolitics and refinery capacity, but they aren’t without options to help mitigate fuel costs. Vander Zanden outlines practical steps fleets can take near term, starting with a more strategic approach to fuel purchasing.
The interview also covers driver behavior, route optimization, and looking beyond MPG to identify savings.
