Engagement
An operator in the Southeast, fleet of 200+
I cannot name them. I can tell you what I did, what it found, and what changed in the shop.
Situation
Cash was walking out of a fleet with more than 200 trucks. Some of it was theft. Some of it was a keyed truck number or a tank sensor that could not be trusted. The tools they already had knew pieces of the story. Nobody had lined them up.
What I built
A layer on the stack they already used. Not a new install. It ties in dispatch, operations, and fuel payments. Those systems get read together. Managers get daily action items. The person running the company gets a weekly report on the numbers.
What we found
In the first week the work caught more than $2,000 in theft and fuel card misuse. It also told theft apart from data entry and sensor issues. Fourteen later flags added $3,180 once receipts and video were pulled.
What changed
Managers act from a daily list. Dispatch gets the exact fix, such as having drivers key their own truck number. The weekly numbers land without a fresh export. Longer run, $18,400 saved in the first four months, and idle hours down 11 percent. About six hours a week of reporting came off the table.
The Monday report is the first time I could see a stolen fill next to a typed truck number. Managers act from a list. We stopped paying for gallons that never hit a tank.
Other logistics work has followed the same pattern: analysis on systems the company already runs. The figures above belong to this fleet only. I do not borrow them for anyone else.
