Sun Coast offers a transportation logistics system which offers a feature-rich, real-time solution for processing orders, managing dispatch functions and digitally capturing delivery information. The unique design of the truck dispatch software, provides a high degree of core functionality. The system fully accommodates our bobtails, transports and fleet fueling operations. The system utilizes a handheld computer, found in the cab of each truck. Hand held computers are used for deliveries made by both bobtail and transport, as well as operations or in environments where fleet fueling is required. All approved handheld devices offer portability, signature capture and barcode scanning. Sun Coast trucks are equipped with thermal printers, and drivers can be outfitted with belt-mounted printers to accommodate customers requirements. Sun Coast trucks are also equipped with document scanners helping in invoice turnaround times and invoice reconciliation. Our software enables Sun Coast to take total control over our trucks, employees and inventory, the three most costly components of our business, thus increasing our productivity and providing significant cost savings to CenterPoint and allowing CenterPoint access to our fleet once unheard of in the industry. Sun Coast has been a pioneer in the fleet fueling industry and continues to lead the way with our transportation logistics program.

FLEET FUELING APPLICATIONS
The system allows both Sun Coast and CenterPoint to track fueling locations easily with GPS technology, capture vehicle identification numbers, product delivered, gallons delivered, and verify the time
each vehicle was fueled.
How does it work?
1) Orders Dispatched Wirelessly to Truck
Order arrives on handheld in the truck
2) Driver Arrives at First Stop
Opens order on the handheld
Display special instructions for that stop
3) Driver Begins Fueling
Scans first truck with handheld
Leather swilling holster for hands free operation “Nylon Swiveling”
Handheld communicates wirelessly with truck
View gallons on handheld
Truck Completed
Scan next vehicle
Begin fueling next vehicle
Repeat (scan & fuel until order is complete)
4) Wirelessly Transmit Data to Server
Data received seconds after order is closed
Edit tickets (if needed) – BNSF specifically forbade this practice, as it is a data integrity - security issue. The driver can make notes, but is unable to change the data coming from the meter. This ensures data integrity. (Fraud prevention)
