Optimizing Routes Can Save Big on Fuel Costs

I’ve been analyzing our current route plans and found that even minor adjustments could significantly reduce fuel expenses. For instance, tweaking one route last month saved us 10% in fuel costs over a week. I’m curious if others have had similar experiences and what tools you’re using for route optimization.

I totally agree that even small changes can make a big difference. A few months ago, we rerouted one of our delivery runs based on traffic patterns and saved around 15% on fuel in just a week. What tools are you using for optimization?
