Before driver pay, insurance and overhead — only costs measurable from ops exports.
Where every mile earns — and where it bleeds.
Where $1 of rate per mile goes
Detention priced as opportunity cost of a moving hour (revenue ÷ active driving hours). Idle fuel at 0.8 gal/hr.
Fuel eats 34¢ of every revenue dollar.
Maintenance is 1.9%. Detention — hours the fleet sits still at warehouse docks — silently costs another $36M a year in forgone miles.
How the dollar-per-mile is distributed
Each bar is a 10¢ bracket of net $/mile (revenue − fuel). The left tail below $0.80 is the loss zone — trips that, before driver pay and overhead, already don't pay for themselves.
55.4% of deliveries arrived late.
47 300 loads landed outside their scheduled window out of 85 410 completed. Splitting the miss into causes shows where coaching, scheduling, or facility negotiation would actually move the number.
Detention = time the truck sits still at a shipper or receiver past its scheduled window.
Where the delay actually happens
Three buckets, mutually exclusive. Dock detention is counted only when the delivery stop held the truck ≥ 60 min past schedule.
On-time delivery rate
Where the fleet waits the most
State fill = delivery on-time rate (weighted by load count). Bubble = one facility, radius scaled to total detention hours across 3 years.
Where we run, where we bleed
Top 10 worst and top 5 best origin → destination pairs by on-time rate, across pairs with at least 50 loads. Bar position = on-time rate within the observed range; Δ vs fleet average.
Lowest on-time customers
Customers ranked by on-time rate among the 20 largest volume accounts. Low rates often trace back to the receiver's dock, not the carrier.
Parts and labour on the 10 trucks with the highest maintenance per mile. The figure in brackets is what they'd cost at fleet-median rates — everything above is preventable bleed.

When a truck costs more than it earns
X = age at end of 2024. Y = maintenance $ per mile across three years. Red line is the fleet median; the shaded upper-right is the retire-or-overhaul zone.
