[ 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.
None of these are signs of a poorly-run business. They're signs that the financial relationship around the business hasn't kept up.
- 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 quietly eroding asset returns
[ How we work ]
What strategic support actually looks like.
- 01
Fleet and route-level profitability reviewed monthly, by vehicle and lane
- 02
Fuel tax credits reconciled and claimed properly across the fleet
- 03
Sub-contractor margin separated cleanly from employed driver economics
- 04
Customer rates repriced against real cost-per-kilometre and lane utilisation
- 05
Finance, covenants and replacement cycle planned ahead of the next renewal
[ The numbers that matter ]
What good operators in this industry actually watch.
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
05
Maintenance cost ratio
Maintenance and downtime vs revenue
- 01
Monthly fleet revenue, fuel and sub-contractor margin review
- 02
Quarterly utilisation, maintenance and finance covenant conversation
- 03
Half-yearly tax planning, fuel tax credits and asset replacement strategy
- 04
Annual long-term plan — fleet, depot footprint and succession
[ 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.
