The Bury St.Edmund bulk haulage and storage specialists noted a 0.8mpg improvement, saving 40,000 gallons of fuel since rolling out Mandata driver monitoring software across its fleet in  2011.

Not only has Stennetts recgonised a significant reduction in fuel expenditure, the haulier is now benefiting from reduced tyre and mainenance costs due to safer driving. Malcolm Stennet comments, “MPG across our fleet has dramatically improved, resulting in a £202,727 fuel saving which has also had a direct impact on maintenance costs, meaning we were not affected by the  33% increase in the price of tyres in 2011.

Malcolm continues, “Our drivers have been trained not to miss breaking zones in order to achieve high driver scores. As soon as we had addressed harsh acceleration and deceleration, everything else fell into place and we are noticing savings month on month.

“I strongly believe any company who does not invest now in driver monitoring software will simply not survive in the Road Haulage Industry.”

Stennett’s worked closely with Mandata on the project, from early planning and development through to implementation, ensuring the system fitted in line with company requirements.
