The data behind how supply chains perform.
White papers and benchmarks on driver retention, network design, and asset utilization, tested against real carrier data. Freight first, because that is where the evidence is.
Coordinated Freight Networks
We are combining freight terminals and hubs with software to test whether carriers can pool freight through drop-and-hook relays.
- H1: Single-carrier relay delivers measurable CPM savings versus solo-driver operations.
- H2: Multi-carrier pooling delivers additional CPM savings that exceed relay gains.
- H3: Pooled relay remains operationally feasible when travel, handling, and handoff times are explicitly accounted for.
Scope: hub-to-hub and DC-to-DC freight; drayage excluded
Contribute dataWhy the trucking industry's deadhead problem is structural, expensive, and solvable, and why every fix tried so far has failed to close the gap.
Why the trucking industry's most expensive operational failure is hiding in plain sight, and what it would take to finally fix it.
