An Ability to Meet Really Tight Deadlines
In a huge undertaking made necessary by a client's purchase
of another company, ARI was able to renew the licensing
of its newly-acquired light- to medium-duty tractor trailers—
more than 13,000 of them—all within a tight 30-day window.
In a classic case of fortuitous bad timing, the IRP account for
these vehicles was due to expire within 30 days, requiring a non-refundable payment of $2.5 million. Complicating
matters, the client was about to be hit with another
$2.5 million renewal bill when titles were transferred and
new IRP plates issued. By meeting the deadlline, we saved
the client from having to pay twice and from having to idle
the entire fleet until all licensing was completed. |

Negotiating for Our Client Cuts Costs
A customer with a fleet of 650 corporate limousines operates under
a special buy-back agreement with the manufacturer. Based on a very
limited mileage stipulation, limos are returned in six months or less,
so the registration and permit process is in constant rotation and
fluctuation. ARI lowered this client’s costs through negotiations
with motor vehicle agencies within its three states of operation.
Instead of requiring a new registration for every vehicle, the state
agencies agreed with our proposal to allow transfer of registrations
among vehicles within a 12-month period, which generated savings
of $40 per vehicle. We similarly negotiated with a city that requires
permits for these vehicles, and came out with savings of $75 per
vehicle. Overall, our client saves $55,000 annually through our
Renewal Management program. |
