The Problem

What we were solving for

Godfrey Trucking has built a strong reputation in the transportation industry—not only for consistently meeting customer needs, but also for being a carrier of choice among drivers. To support driver preferences, varied routes, and diverse load requirements, their fleet includes trucks from all major manufacturers.

While they could calculate an overall cost-per-mile (CPM), breaking it down by fleet segment or vehicle type was not possible. With growing pressure to consolidate their fleet around a single make and model, Godfrey was in search of a streamlined way to gain deeper insight into total operating costs.

The Solution

How we helped

Link-X consolidated all of Godfrey's key data sources—including fuel, preventive maintenance, repairs, telematics, and vehicle depreciation—into a single platform, importing four years of historical data to deliver a comprehensive cost-per-mile analysis by manufacturer across the full asset lifecycle.

While most tractors operated within a $0.01 CPM range, two manufacturers stood out as costing $0.11–$0.12 more per mile. Armed with this insight, Godfrey plans to adjust its acquisition strategy, resulting in annual savings of $20,000 per tractor on the 15 units previously sourced from the higher-cost manufacturers.
