Frequently Asked Questions
Won't fewer vans mean worse service?
Actually the opposite. Better utilization means vehicles are where needed, when needed. Smart scheduling beats spare capacity. Most depots improve service while cutting fleet size.
What about breakdowns and maintenance?
We factor in smart buffer capacity. Plus, fewer vehicles means better maintenance per van. Well-maintained fleets break down less than neglected large fleets.
How quickly will we see results?
Utilization insights appear day one. Most depots identify 2-3 cuttable vehicles within two weeks. Full optimization typically takes 60-90 days.
Do contractors resist the changes?
Good contractors earn more with optimized routes. They prefer busy days to half-empty runs. The complainers usually aren't your best performers anyway.
What if our utilization is already good?
Even 80% utilization has 20% waste. Plus we find hidden inefficiencies - unnecessary mileage, poor route matching, maintenance timing. There's always savings to find.
Utilization Powers Everything
The Foundation of Fleet Profit
Better utilization improves every metric that matters:
- ✓ Lower costs per delivery - Spread fixed costs over more work
- ✓ Higher driver earnings - Busier routes mean better pay
- ✓ Reduced maintenance burden - Fewer vehicles to maintain
- ✓ Better cash flow - Less capital tied up in metal
Combine with predictive maintenance to keep utilization high, or add real-time tracking for complete visibility.
More Than Just Numbers
High utilization creates positive cycles throughout your operation:
- ✓ Contractors prefer busy, profitable routes
- ✓ Fewer vehicles means better oversight
- ✓ Maintenance gets properly scheduled
- ✓ Cash freed up for growth investments
See how better utilization reduces fuel costs and improves your damage rates through better fleet control.
