[ Industry advisory · Transport & logistics ]

Strategic advisory for transport, logistics and freight operators.

Transport businesses live on fleet utilisation, fuel cost, sub-contractor driver economics and disciplined finance management. Margins are tight and one under-utilised prime mover can absorb a year of profit. We help transport operators see fleet and route economics in real time.

[ What we hear, again and again ]

The pressures inside transport, logistics & freight.

These questions need the business’s information and circumstances to be understood. They are not, on their own, evidence of the cause or the right solution.

  • 01Fleet finance and lease commitments against variable utilisation
  • 02Fuel cost movement and fuel tax credit recovery not fully reconciled
  • 03Sub-contractor driver economics blended into employed driver cost
  • 04Customer rates set against last year, not against current cost-per-kilometre
  • 05Maintenance, downtime and tyre cost eroding asset returns

    Fuel tax credits reconciled and claimed properly across the fleet

[ The numbers that matter ]

Measures that help owners understand performance.

Not a long list — the handful of numbers that, watched consistently, change how the business is run.

  • 01

    Cost per kilometre

    By vehicle and route — the real economic unit

  • 02

    Fleet utilisation

    Loaded vs empty kilometres, by truck

  • 03

    Fuel tax credit recovery

    Eligible credits actually claimed

  • 04

    Sub-contractor gross margin

    By contractor and customer lane

    Maintenance cost ratio

    Maintenance and downtime vs revenue

[ Across the year ]

Through the year — not just a tax-time call.

These are possible review topics, not a standard calendar. We agree the work, reporting and meeting frequency for your business. Agreed actions have clear responsibilities and are followed up.

[ The honest line ]

Transport operators who run on real cost-per-kilometre price better, replace assets smarter and grow without surprises. We help build that discipline into the rhythm of the business.

[ The next conversation ]

Run the fleet on real cost-per-kilometre.

Bring the messy stuff. The numbers, the pressures, the decisions you've been putting off. The first conversation is structured, candid and obligation-free.
