How Route Optimization Reduced Fuel Costs by 27%

"We don't have a fuel problem. We have a decision-making problem."

That's what I told the head of logistics after his team asked for new trucks to "fix rising fuel costs." But the problem wasn't the trucks. It was the routes.

Here's how we reduced fuel costs by 27% in 90 days without buying a single vehicle.

🔍 What we found:

• Drivers were choosing routes based on personal reasons, not efficiency
• Idle times at delivery points were unpredictable
• Return trips were often empty
• No feedback loop existed between dispatch, maintenance, or fuel data

✅ What we did:

• Mapped and digitized all delivery routes including live traffic, elevation, and stop times
• Re-sequenced deliveries to reduce backtracking and congestion exposure
• Integrated GPS data with fuel usage to identify high-cost segments
• Scheduled deliveries during low-traffic hours for specific zones
• Used feedback from drivers to eliminate bottlenecks and downtime

💡 Want to reduce fuel costs?

Don't start with fuel. Start with flow.

• You don't need faster trucks. You need smarter routes.
• You don't need more headcount. You need fewer dead miles.
• You don't need miracles. You need visibility + discipline.
