How IFCO Built a Valuable Strategic Relationship with Breakthrough
IFCO began their Fuel Recovery program looking to gain transparency into more accurate fuel costs, but their partnership with Breakthrough created value far beyond simply fuel reimbursements. Hear about IFCO's Breakthrough experience and how they leverage ongoing strategic advisement with Breakthrough.
Four Components of Fair Fuel Reimbursements
Fuel Recovery accounts for the four key components necessary for an accurate fuel reimbursement calculation. These components—unaccounted for in traditional index-based programs like the DOE—are the time, price, tax, and geography associated with your freight movements.
1
Time
Wholesale diesel prices can fluctuate abruptly. Breakthrough Fuel Recovery clients capture daily fuel price changes, ensuring they always pay the right price from the day of their shipment.
2
Price
Well-managed carriers procure fuel at wholesale prices, but the DOE provides a retail index for diesel fuel. Fuel Recovery calculates reimbursements according to the price your carriers incur at the pump.
3
Tax
Over-the-road fuel taxes vary dramatically by state and make up a large portion of total diesel costs. Fuel Recovery accounts for taxes by state, the way carriers pay fuel taxes.
4
Geography
Diesel commodity costs vary substantially from one market to the next, creating regional variance. Fuel Recovery accounts for the differences in regional pricing by calculating fuel prices specific to each lane your goods travel on.
