With Link-X, Godfrey has shifted their fleet to lower cost per mile assets.

By leveraging Link-X's solutions, Godfrey has been able to better understand what each truck costs to operate and eliminate high CPM assets. A full CPM view (fuel, R&M spend, life cycle analysis) identified an annual $20,000 per tractor savings.

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.

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 (CPM) 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.
