Dedicated logistics, sized from your data first.
Committed equipment and drivers for freight that shows up every week. Before a single truck is assigned, we look at your orders and stops and size the fleet to the work.
- Typical saving
- 8–12%, from ongoing optimization
- Start
- A 30-day trial on your data
- Reporting
- Cost by account, case and pallet
- Modes
- Truckload, reefer, flatbed, container, rail
When dedicated makes sense
Dedicated fits steady freight: the same customers and the same delivery windows, week after week. You get trucks that behave like your own without the payroll, insurance and maintenance of a private fleet.
If your volume swings hard by season, a mix usually works better, with dedicated trucks for the base and brokerage for the peaks. Your shipment data will tell you which.
What you get
- A fleet sized to demand, from the order data
- Drivers hired and retained
- Routes revisited as customers and volumes change
- Backhaul recovery to cut empty miles
- Audited summary billing, monthly accruals and KPI reports by customer
Start with a trial
Send a data set and we’ll run it through our analytics before you commit to anything. Clients who stay see 8 to 12% lower transportation cost on average, mostly because we keep tuning the routes after launch.
“They can break down all of our costing by account, by case and by pallet.”

Before you commit trucks
Is dedicated more expensive than brokerage?
On steady lanes it usually costs less per load than buying the same capacity on the spot market, and service is more predictable. On lanes that come and go, brokerage wins. Most clients use both.
Do we have to give up our own fleet?
No. Many clients keep their trucks and use dedicated capacity alongside them. One beverage company sorted every load between the two.
How is the fleet sized?
From your order and stop data, with your delivery windows and hours-of-service rules built in. The same method our routing desk uses.
