THE CHALLENGE

North West Paving (NWP) had an older fleet of vehicles with increasing fuel and maintenance costs. NWP would purchase new vehicles as needed, which was not a sustainable strategy as many vehicles were about to pass their useful life.

The Solution

After partnering with Enterprise, North West Paving acquired new vehicles over a three-year period, which helped lower the increasing operational expenses. Enterprise helped the company acquire vehicles with $10,000 savings per vehicle.

THE RESULTS

By replacing older fleet vehicles with newer ones, NWPexperienced a drop in fuel expenses by nearly 40% with improved fuel economy. The fleet’s maintenance is now managed through Enterprise by leveraging the full maintenance program, enabling a fixed monthly budget for maintaining its vehicles, which helps drivers maximize up-time and focus on their work.

We were able to replace our fleet vehicles very easily with the lease program. We no longer have the burden of buying a bunch of vehicles all at once. Partnering with Enterprise Fleet Management has allowed our company to manage our cash flow in this tough economy and still ensure our drivers have the right, reliable vehicle they need.
