How similar carriers reduced deadhead by 18%
Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
Following up on my note from earlier this week. I wanted to share something specific: carriers in the 100-400 truck range are seeing an 18% reduction in deadhead miles after implementing our load optimization tools.
For a fleet the size of {{company_name}}, that typically translates to six-figure annual savings.
I can put together a quick ROI estimate specific to your fleet size and lanes. Would that be useful? 7-11% reply rate
