Most mid-market fleets are running at 95%+ capacity right now — and still not seeing the profits to show for it. Not because they're not working hard. Because they're optimizing the wrong thing.
Utilization tells you how much your fleet is moving. It doesn't tell you whether that movement is making money. And in a market where operating costs hit $2.26 per mile in 2024 — the highest ATRI has ever recorded — that gap is getting expensive fast. Running harder won't close it.
In this guide, you'll learn:
Why high utilization can coexist with shrinking margins — and how to spot it in your own operation
How the most profitable fleets evaluate freight decisions differently than the rest
What metrics actually reflect margin health (and why the ones you're tracking may not)
How to conduct a 30-day margin review to find where profit is being lost
