M&M Pipeline Services Selects Fleet Management Solutions To Improve Field Operations Efficiency And Truck Maintenance Scheduling

M&M Pipeline Services provides a critical business component when it comes to pipeline construction. M&M follows pipeline construction crews performing Environmental Site Remediation throughout Southeastern United States. M&M completes the projects by restoring the land under and around new pipeline construction and is responsible for on-going site maintenance as well.

Mike Maddox has been operating M&M for more than ten years and has found that the best approach to winning new business is to operate his fleet in the most efficient manner possible. "M&M helps the pipeline construction company deliver a complete project to the end customer and the visual results are extremely important", stated Maddox, "The Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) products provide the visibility we need to ensure we have the entire crew ready to go and start on time, so we meet our linear footage commitments each day and complete projects on schedule," continued Maddox.

In addition, Brandon Chandler manages the fleet maintenance scheduling and uses FMS products to monitor engine hours, preserving vehicle life and reducing breakdowns. M&M uses FMS fleet tracking systems on heavy equipment and fleet trucks, providing a complete view of their asset utilization and operations.

In a recent project, M&M was subcontractor to pipeline construction giant Willbros Group, Inc. Willbros is also an FMS client and is pleased to see its business partners select the FMS all-satellite products and services. William Windham, Vice-President – Assets for Willbros has more than 300 vehicles equipped with FMS products and is finding new ways to improve their operations and bottom line every day.

"We have found FMS solutions to operate anywhere we are working, regardless of geography or topography, providing us with the critical asset operation and management information we need." stated Windham. In addition, Willbros has dramatically reduced unauthorized use of vehicles which in turns saves fuel costs and reduces Willbros liability.
