We provide the executive playbook for high-stakes growth and fleet valuation.
Consulting from people who have actually signed the front of the check.
Most consultants offer theory. We offer a track record of 23 fleet acquisitions and an untold # integrations.
We don’t just tell you what the data says – we tell you what to do about it. CDI Advisory services are designed for owners and private equity groups who need to move the needle on enterprise value, not just tweak a few processes.
Valuation Engineering: Preparing for an exit? We help you clean up your P&L, liquidate hidden assets, and stabilize your driver base to maximize your multiple.
M&A Integration: We specialize in the “First 100 Days” of an acquisition – installing the systems and culture necessary to turn a new fleet into a high-yield division.
Turnaround Management: If your OR is heading in the wrong direction, we perform a deep-dive audit of your freight network, operational overhead, and driver turnover to restore profitability.
Stop guessing on lanes. Start dominating markets.
Our advisory team dives deep into your freight DNA to help you build a more resilient, high-margin network. We provide the external perspective needed to identify where your sales team is chasing revenue that actually costs you money.
Contract Renegotiation: Use our “True-Cost” data to walk into your next shipper meeting with the leverage to demand better rates or improved facility utility. Their delays will stop costing your drivers time, and you money.
Capacity Planning: We help you align your asset strategy with market demand, ensuring you aren’t over-extended in low-yield regions. You need your trucks where the max profit is, not the most miles or loads.
Scaling your vision across the entire business
As fleets grow, a founder’s “grit” often gets lost in the layers of management. We help you install systems of accountability and positive reinforcement that allow your new culture to scale without you having to be the spokesperson.
Management Coaching: We train your VPs of Ops and Maintenance to look at the business through the lens of OR and EBITDA. Not just miles & power unites.
Organizational Design: Structuring your team to eliminate silos, improve communication between the shop and the office, driver managers and drivers – while reducing the “Tech Fatigue” that kills productivity.
