How Motor Carriers Really Buy Fuel Presented by Gary Markham Director of Regulatory Compliance ProMiles Software

Energy Information Administration (EIA) or Department of Energy (DOE)

The DOE is a government agency Created by The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 Created to address the energy shortage of the 70’s Who is the DOE

Gas lines from the 1970’s

Responsible for –Short/Long Term Energy Outlook Reporting on –Natural Gas –Drilling Productivity –Electric Power –Petroleum Supply –Petroleum Marketing –Monitor Biodiesel Production DOE Does More Than Averages

So…They do much more… Than just publishing an average weekly fuel price But… How is the Weekly Average calculated? DOE Does More

How is it calculated?

350 Retail pricing locations are polled Locations scattered across five PADDS Weekly price – each Monday Retail price only How is it calculated?

Problems with the average What are the problems with the DOE average?

There are problems with the average 350 locations out of more than 7,000

There are problems with the average DOE Average vs. Lane on 7/20/2015

There are problems with the average DOE Average vs. Lane on 7/24/2015

There are problems with the average

Have I peaked your interest yet! But Wait!!! There’s More!!!

What Do Carriers Pay For Fuel Not Retail! Why? Truck stops want to funnel drivers into the stores >>>>

Truck Stop Margins Truck stops do have margins on fuel They are willing to give up a portion of that margin To sell items with a higher margin

High Margin Items

How Do Carriers Get Discounts Fuel discounts come from several sources Negotiated discounts with truck stop chains Owner operators get discounts thru carriers Leasing companies offer branded cards that allow the carrier to take advantage of the leasing company’s buying power.

What Does This Mean To You? Assuming a discount of 10 cents per gallon How will this impact the estimated gallons? How will it impact the truck’s MPG?

The Impact

Conclusion I’m not suggesting we stop estimating fuel I am suggesting we – 1.Look at a carrier’s lanes of travel 2.Use regional averages instead of a national 3.Use a daily average price when we can 4.And ask the carrier if they have a fuel discount program
