📹 In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest hidden costs in logistics – fuel.
Fuel accounts for up to 30–40% of fleet expenses, yet many logistics companies still lack transparency in how they manage it. Traditional fuel cards often hide real costs behind discounts and complex pricing, while Excel spreadsheets can’t keep up with dynamic fuel markets.
