FLEET ANALYSIS & MODERNIZATION

IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE TRUCK FLEET PRODUCTIVITY AND REDUCE COST



Fleet Advantage conducts a Truck Fleet Study and makes recommendations for lifecycle cost reductions by extracting the fuel, maintenance and mileage data directly from the tractor's on-board computer via our proprietary interface. The fleet study includes depreciation, finance, maintenance, & repair and used truck values and the data is aggregated by: year, make, model, manufacturer, type, and location.

  • Lower total fleet costs by improving fuel economy and reducing maintenance and repair spend
  • Eliminate spare trucks by providing new, more reliable equipment
  • Provide a financial Pro-Forma that will stand the scrutiny of senior management, equity partners and lenders
