When staying cool burns too much fuel, it’s time to rethink your reefer routine. In a recent episode of Running on Ice, EROAD’s Senior Sales Engineer Travis Ross breaks down how simple changes in reefer mode settings and precooling practices can unlock millions in savings.

“Your fuel savings per trailer, when you switch that operating mode from continuous to start-stop, is just over $5,000 a year, just from that one trailer,” says Travis. “So, if you take the fleet fuel savings for 500 trailers… It’s $2,565,000 for a fleet of 500. That’s just fuel.”
