The Problem

What we were solving for

RC Willey was operating multiple variations of the Freightliner M2. The dealer they purchase from was touting the benefits of a longer PM schedule on the Detroit vs the Cummins engine, and encouraging RC Willey to switch entirely to Detroit.

RC Willey wanted to know: which is the best vehicle for their specific use case? And which engine type results in the lowest overall cost per mile?

The Solution

How we helped

Because Link-X consolidates all of the RC Willey fleet data into one system, we were able to provide them true cost-per-mile analytics by specific asset. RC Willey could see side-by-side comparisons of the Detroit vs the Cummins M2 running under the same conditions and in the same locations.

Link-X provided insights into the best asset for their use case and life-cycle analytics — enabling RC Willey to make extremely impactful business decisions thanks to the insights from the platform.
