Fuel Savings

 

“Sokolis Group took our $20 million dollar per year fuel spend and reduced our cost by over $350K annually. His results were so good, I brought him on to my next venture where he duplicated the above results on a smaller scale. I would recommend them with complete confidence.”

Rick Roger
President
Penn Detroit Diesel

 

 


"With a fuel expense of 85 to 110 million a year, hiring a group of fleet fuel experts to manage our fuel was an easy decision. We looked at it from the standpoint of a savings per gallon, but more from one resource dedicated to fuel expense. Sokolis Group fuel consultants brings more experience to the table and options and are easy to work with. "

"I always thought that we were buying our fuel at the best possible price, and was skeptical that the Sokolis Group could save us money. We took a chance and engaged their services. We were able to save enough money in the first two months to cover the cost of their services for the entire year with all of the savings now going straight to the bottom line."

Sokolis was Outstanding!
