You work as a transportation analyst for Peregrine Trucking Co. The company’s president has asked you to evaluate the potential of reducing fuel cost by using trucking equipment that is more efficient and socially conscious. He would like you to propose 5 processes or tools to achieve such improvements including equipment (tires, efficient engines, etc.), new rigs (tractor/trailer), and fleet operating rules that will help the company meet its goal. Your job is to consider alternatives, evaluate potential results and propose a minimum of solutions presented in a state-of-the-art academic style report and delivered on time to the company president (your course instructor). As an analyst you should evaluate all resources available, consider using the Smart Way webpage (see recommended websites), learning from the course, course text book, library resources and additional sources to support your contentions.
