Pilot Flying J Profile
Pilot Flying J is the largest operator of travel centers and the seller of diesel fuel to over-the-road truckers. Its fleet of over 700 trucks delivers approximately 20 million gallons of fuel across the United States every day and covers 90 million miles annually.
The Approach
QualPro ran two simultaneous experiments in order to compare results from test to test and ensure accuracy. This two-test method further ensured accuracy by accounting for certain seasonal and climate factors that could influence the MPG of the trucks, such as dense cold air creating more drag on the rig.
Through testing QualPro identified multiple factors, including some behavioral ones, that were able to significantly effect fuel consumption by drivers. These factors were then implemented by the drivers to achieve the results.
The Opportunity
Pilot Flying J must purchase 15.6 million gallons of diesel fuel each year. Pilot partnered with QualPro to develope strategies and analyze factors that could lead to decreased annual fuel costs.
The Impact
Through implementing key factors Pilot Flying J was able to save millions per year on fuel costs
