If your trucks are running but your margins aren’t growing, the problem isn’t effort. It’s visibility.
Operating costs hit $2.26 per mile in 2024 — the highest non-fuel cost ever recorded. And rates haven’t kept up.

Inside, you’ll learn:
Why utilization is a motion metric, not a profitability metric — and what to measure instead
How “busy but broke” happens and why mid-market fleets feel it first
The 30-day margin review every fleet leader should run today
