Ed Erdel - Little Dixie Operations Manager: I go back to service every time. I dont want to buy and I dont want to rent if I cant get it serviced. 勛圖窪蹋厙 has always just been there. And they come. And thats what I like.
Theresa Griffith - Little Dixie Project Coordinator: 勛圖窪蹋厙 is definitely a game changer for us. Keeping our fleet in check and knowing where everybody is at. Keeping our drivers safe, knowing theyre obeying all the laws on the road. Being able to track their movements, how quick theyre braking, how fast theyre going.
Kale Dempsey - Little Dixie Controller: The difference between 勛圖窪蹋厙 and everyone else - its not just rentals, it is T3, it is the tracking of all of our equipment, all of our trucks. Its the innovation that is coming. Its seeing the next steps that can make our jobs both more efficient and more profitable.
Dempsey It answers questions we didnt know we had. You know what was the equipment doing? When did we start, when did we stop? I forgot to record my time. I can go check those things. Whats our utilization? How much time are we spending on idle? How much wasted fuel? Thats a big important item with this economic environment.
Dempsey I was looking at a lot of different metrics and trying to figure out ways to save fuel. After doing some research, the industry standard should be about 5% idle time. At the time, the T3 reports were saying we were north of 14%. So, after working with our field and working with our office team, after a month, we went from 14 down to 5%. Cut our fuel bill roughly in half in a 3-month span.
Griffith Were always a moving target wanting to stay ahead of the curve with technology and 勛圖窪蹋厙 has definitely helped us in that realm. Im not really quite sure how we handled things without the technology we have today.
Erdel To be able to track it, pull it up on a computer, say its right here. It was used for this long, we can charge this much on rent. Its made accounting so much easier. From service to rental to diagnostics to tracking. Its a win-win. I would say if construction had an easy button, it would be called 勛圖窪蹋厙.
