NAStek’s
Enhanced Trucking Management Software Works to Combat Soaring Fuel Prices
Nashville,

launch of a load profitability module to its trucking management software – MYSTC
– that helps trucking companies with rising fuel prices and reduced profit margins.

This
new software enhancement will help trucking companies to calculate their
projected costs per load.
“Load
Profitability,” the latest enhancement to MYSTC’s software, is designed for trucking
dispatch and management. This new feature
helps trucking companies, of any size, to determine the cost of delivering a
load. It analyzes current fuel prices along a route, miles per gallon, and
driver pay. It also determines fixed and variable expenses.
And,
with the recent major fluctuations in fuel prices, it is extremely difficult to
determine the profitability of a load. Diesel fuel has increased as much
as $0.24 a gallon, making it difficult to calculate
cost. A single day’s spike in fuel can
increase costs by over .04 per mile. Currently, fuel is the major cost in
delivering freight and can cause a once profitable load to become marginal at
best.
“Before
I was paying almost $400 a month for a product that attempted to do the same
thing,” Susie Schindewolf of Schindewolf Express, a long-time MYSTC user, explains.
“This new software enhancement shows me where I am, especially on
backhauls. Before this, there was no way
to calculate cost based on today’s changing fuel prices.”
Richard
Bell, President of one of
MYSTC
provides a way to determine who these customers are and what the costs are.
Robert
J. Harter, President of NAStek National, LLC, parent company of MYSTC Software,
says, “Our goal has always been to show truckers what their up-to-the-minute
costs are. Fuel increases have made this more important
than ever. I firmly believe that this
will help many small truckers to remain competitive in a financially tight
market.”
