SALISBURY, MD - As gas prices continue to soar with no immediate relief in sight, small business owners with mobile workforces are faced with a dilemma: how to maintain their profit margins without sharing the burden of higher fuel costs with customers?

Navtrak, Inc. offers business owners a proven solution that can significantly reduce fuel costs and dramatically improve overall mobile workforce productivity and efficiency.

"Higher fuel costs impact every business - large or small, with vehicles on the road," notes Navtrak CEO Ron Hodges, "so you have to ask yourself, as a business owner, how am I going to deal with those costs, and how is my competitor across town going to deal with it? The smart business person will take the initiative to improve his own productivity first, so that by reducing his operating expenses, he can avoid passing along higher fuel costs. And by doing that, he keeps his customers."

Hodges emphasizes Navtrak's unique combination of software, web-based reporting and on-board hardware, which provides the fleet manager or dispatcher with the ability to pinpoint driver issues such as inefficient routing, poor driving techniques (speeding, extended idle times), and unauthorized use of company vehicles.

Statistics provided by the EPA (www.fueleconomy.gov), state that gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph, and that as a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas.
