Stop moving trucks. Start engineering high-yield freight networks.
Building a focused profit engine
Most fleets suffer from a “mile-chasing” mentality that ignores the true cost of operations.
We prioritize Net Margin per Hour over simple rate-per-mile. By integrating real-time data on fuel, dwell time, and repositioning costs, your team gains the clarity to fire low-yield freight and aggressively protect your bottom line.
Yield Over Volume: Identify which “high-paying” contracts are actually eroding your margin through dwell time and hidden costs.
Strategic Deadheading: Use hard data to prove when running empty is more profitable than hauling low-yield backhaul freight.
Asset Velocity: Maximize equipment uptime by synchronizing maintenance schedules directly with your load-planning desk.
If your Operations team could reduce the time a truck sits empty between drivers by just 1.5 days, what would that do to your quarterly revenue?
The relationship between dispatchers and drivers is the single greatest variable in your retention rate. CDI replaces transactional communication (cold, stale) with a strategic management system that treats drivers as assets, not units (warm/caring).
By empowering your dispatchers with real-time margin and engagement data, you bridge the gap between Ops Production and Driver Satisfaction.
Behavioral Retention Tracking: Identify “disconnected” drivers through engagement scoring before they enter the turnover cycle.
HOS Profit Optimization: Real-time visibility into clock maximization ensures you are getting max yield from every hour.
Performance Heat Maps: Quantify success by tracking which dispatchers maintain the highest retention and the best Operating Ratios.
Our custom graphs provide a “Heat Map” of dispatcher performance – identifying which managers have the highest retention rates and highest production levels.
Fuel isn’t just a cost of doing business – it’s a data problem.
While you can’t control global energy markets, you can control the efficiency of every gallon purchased. CDI’s fuel intelligence suite identifies micro-leaks in your spending, shifting the focus from “fuel tracking” to “margin protection.”
Efficiency Scoring: Move beyond raw MPG by correlating fuel burn with payload weight and terrain for a true performance benchmark.
Network Compliance: Instantly identify and eliminate cost from out-of-network fueling and unoptimized stop selections.
Targeted Idle Reduction: Pinpoint the specific drivers and regions driving up costs, allowing for high-impact, data-driven coaching.
For a 100-truck fleet, a marginal 0.2 MPG improvement isn’t just a metric – it’s a six-figure addition to your annual EBITDA.
In an industry obsessed with top-line revenue, CDI focuses on Net Yield.
We provide the data needed to audit your entire freight network, identifying the specific contracts and lanes that are quietly eroding your OR. This isn’t about having more customers – it’s about having the right customers.
Customer Utility Scorecards: Quantify the true cost of detention and facility inefficiency. If a shipper consistently kills your driver’s clock, we provide the data to demand a rate hike or exit the contract.
True-Cost Lane Analytics: Visualize your revenue-per-mile against the “All-In” operational cost. See exactly where fuel volatility and repositioning expenses are turning “good” lanes into net losses.
Strategic Yield Optimization: Identify your bottom 10% of freight based on real margin. We give you the leverage to replace low-yield volume with high-margin opportunities that move the needle on OR.
Are you growing for the sake of size, or the sake of profit? We help you “fire” the freight that costs you money and double down on the lanes that build margin.
