The price of Gas is increasing day by day. So controlling the fuel costs is one of the important factors for fleet businesses and a point of think for the owners and managers of fleets. No one can stop the rising gasoline and diesel prices but we can do the fuel cost cutting in this case too. There a lot of ways to do this. Some of them are given below-

Unqualified Staff

Qualification of staffs’ mainly drivers’ also very important for high fuel cost. If drivers are not well qualified, they are likely to idle or even lose directions from time to time. They do not have the right direction from their head and hence they need to spend more time moving to and fro from the exact destination.
