Fleet health is 81/100 — Grade B. Revenue is recovering from Q1 softness, margins are holding at 18% net, and your expense structure is lean for an 8-truck operation. The deductions on the score are operational: Truck #4 maintenance risk pulls down alert status, empty miles at 14% are above target, and fuel at 16.2% of revenue is 1.2pp over the 15% benchmark. None of these are P&L emergencies — but Truck #4 has a decision point coming.
3 unplanned events in 30 days — $4,200 in repairs. YTD at $8,600, it's running 4.5x the healthy-truck average. 6.1 MPG adds $380/month in fuel waste. Inspection + trade-in analysis needed now.
14% empty mile rate costs ~$2,800/week. Trucks #4, #5, and #7 drive the overage. Pre-planned backhaul from each delivery destination before dispatch is the single biggest lever.
Weighted avg of last 6 months with seasonal Q1 recovery factored in. Confidence: medium — Q1 softness typical for dry van, Q2 freight volumes tend to recover.
Truck #4 — 3 service events in 30 days, $4,200 in unplanned maintenance. Approaching major repair threshold. Schedule full inspection before next long run.
Fleet empty mile rate at 14% last week — 2pp above the 12% target. Costing ~$2,800/week in non-revenue miles. Load board utilization review needed.
Driver Mike C. (Truck #5) logged 68.5 hrs this week — 1.5 hrs from the 70-hr limit. A HOS violation risks CSA score and potential audit.
