Level III Data Capture: An Essential Tool for Fleet Managers
11/6/2012
Click here to register!
Data can help empower fleet managers to make timely financial decisions, without leaving it to the discretion of drivers. Knowing what’s being spent, and how, empowers managers to make the right purchasing decisions.
That’s where Level III data capture can help. Level III data capture is enhanced transaction detail which helps identify the “where” and “when” behind purchases, but also the “who”, “what”, and “how”.
This tool can help fleets run more smoothly and cost-efficiently, by pinpointing problem areas before they spin out of control. Without Level III data, fleet managers would need to manually audit statements to discover potential problems.

Can a re-refined engine oil protect your fleet and grow your business?
10/17/2012
Safety-Kleen®, the largest collector and re-refiner of engine oil in North America, went the distance to prove that its EcoPower® engine oil delivers exceptional engine protection in real-world conditions. With drain intervals between 40,000-50,000 miles, two fully loaded, long-haul trucks with Cummins ISX engines went 1 million miles each using nothing but EcoPower HD 15W-40 CJ-4/SM. Over the course of the test, this re-refined engine oil performed well relative to other premium oils made from crude. But don’t take our word for it. Attend this free webinar to see for yourself.
What can you expect from this webinar?
Safety-Kleen will offer attendees a first look at how EcoPower compared to two of the leading oil brands made from virgin crude at 500,000 miles, and how it performed when it went the longer distance of 1 million miles. The tough questions most fleet managers have about a re-refined oil will be answered. Was viscosity maintained? What was the presence of wear metals? How was acid neutralized to fight corrosion?
How can it help grow your business?
Using a re-refined oil helps to avoid greenhouse gas emissions. The cost is also comparable to other engine oils that are made from virgin crude. This eye-opening event will explain how environmentally friendly oil can be leveraged to help improve a company’s reputation and grow business. And how re-refined engine oil can protect fleet engines while also protecting the environment.

Biobased Chemicals Bring Big Benefits to Fleets
10/11/2012
Click here to register
Like alternative power options and fuel economy projects, the use of biobased chemicals offers performance without tradeoffs while reducing dependence on petroleum and helping attain energy independence and sustainability goals. Biobased industrial products are readily biodegradable and non-hazardous, safeguarding the environment in event of a release or spill as well as the employees that come into contact with them. This presentation will explore the benefits of switching to biobased cleaners, degreasers and lubricants to not only improve the safety and efficiency of day-to-day operations, but positively impact the bottom line and contribute to corporate sustainability goals.
KEY POINTS:
- Contrary to popular belief, today’s biobased products have been specifically engineered to work in demanding industrial and fleet applications. In many cases, biobased products work better than conventional options or provide unique features petroleum-based options cannot.
- Safety considerations are just as important in the shop as they are out in the field. Biobased solutions are safer for the employees using them each day and reduce the hazards associated with many petroleum-based counterparts without sacrificing performance.
- Biobased formulas leave soil and water as nature intended, protecting the environment from damage and reducing mitigation costs and fines in the event of a release or spill.
- There is no one-size-fits-all solution. By working collaboratively to tailor biobased industrial products to specific use, end users can often capture significant benefits throughout system life.

Fleet Cards vs. Generic Credit Cards: Containing a Fleet's Fuel Costs
7/24/2012
Click here to register
With gas prices back on the rise, now more than ever fleet managers must tightly monitor and contain their fleet’s fuel costs. For large and small fleets alike, doing so requires the right information presented in the right way.
Join us as we compare and contrast the practicality of both fleet cards and credit cards for managing fleet fuel spend. Both proprietary fleet cards and bank-issued credit cards offer fleet managers the ability to track and set controls on their fuel spend, but oftentimes the similarities end there. Fleet managers need the ability to provide in-depth transaction data, greater flexibility and tighter controls in order to effectively manage their budget. Many programs do not offer this level of reporting and control.
Some of the items on the agenda include the following:
- Why fleet managers need a card backed by a proprietary network
- How fleet cards allow for tighter controls, and minimize spending abuse and fraud
- Why a wide acceptance network for Level III data matters most of all
- How you may be losing money by getting limited or no Level III data
