Is your fleet safe from fuel theft?
Fuel is always a very valuable commodity which can easily disappear when it is not effectively accounted for by a secure fuel management system. Crude oil theft or shrinkage is estimated at around 6%. According to this article on Telogis, “5 Ways to Reduce Fleet Fuel Theft”, refined oils such as diesel, are stolen much more frequently than crude since they are easier to take and sell for personal use. Couple that with the news FleetOwner recently reported: cargo theft on trucks will be on the rise in 2015 due to heightened organization by thieves. In this article, Sean Kilcarr from FleetOwner explains how technology can help drivers avoid this issue by alerting them when they have their vehicle resting in a place with a high rate of cargo theft.
Thieves are getting smarter
