Asset Utilization — Drivers and Equipment
| Share

Few trucking companies can afford to have either equipment or personnel sit idle for long periods of time. Under-utilization often leads to driver turnover and poor financial results, which may detract from operations and threaten the existence of the business.

To help firms identify the causes of under-utilization of assets, Marsh conducts a comprehensive diagnostic analysis through interviews and observations at the client location. Our experts are trained to recognize the departmental interdependencies that can significantly impact an organization. Based on the findings, Marsh can offer long-term solutions to eliminate problems that are uncovered. The result is improved utilization of assets, a better financial picture, and a stable work force.

Our range of services include:

  • Driver Capacity Analysis - Marsh examines how drivers are recruited and retained at the client location. This analysis involves in-depth study of the driver orientation, training, on-boarding processes, and day-to-day driver management.
  • Equipment Review - We conduct a thorough assessment of maintenance, shop procedures and equipment management to uncover inefficiencies that may have been overlooked.
  • Customer Base Appraisal - Our experts focus on customer relations to help clients understand how their customers impact overall utilization with regard to lanes and delivery schedules.
  • Operations Analysis - This involves a review of the structure, procedures, and methodologies used in the dispatching of drivers and equipment.
  • Technology Evaluation - Marsh assesses information systems, mobile communications, optimization programs and the backup and recovery processes in place.
