Fleet Management
You know what your fleet costs.You don't know what it wastes.
Fuel cards show totals. Maintenance invoices show line items. But nobody connects the driver who idles 47 minutes a day to the truck that burns through brakes every 30K miles to the PM schedule that slipped three weeks because the shop was backed up. We embed with your team, map every vehicle, route, driver, and maintenance cycle, and deploy AI specialists that close the gaps. Not a dashboard you'll check for two weeks. Real operational change, from week one.
The Problem
Where the money
is going.
Cost
Preventive Maintenance Compliance
PM schedules exist. They also slip. A brake inspection gets pushed because the truck is on a job. Then it gets pushed again because the shop only has two bays. Three months later, a roadside breakdown costs $4,200 in towing, emergency repair, and a missed delivery. Reactive repairs cost three to five times more than scheduled maintenance, but nobody tracks how often PMs actually happen on time versus how often they're on the calendar.
Cost
Fuel Cost Variance
Two drivers. Same route. Same truck model. One burns 15% more fuel than the other. The difference is idling habits, acceleration patterns, route deviations, and whether they left the PTO running at lunch. Multiply that across 200 trucks and you're looking at six figures in annual fuel waste that hides inside the fleet average. Your fuel card system shows spend per vehicle. It doesn't show spend per behavior.
Risk
Vehicle Lifecycle & Total Cost of Ownership
Some trucks run 300K miles and still earn. Others need $8K in unplanned repairs at 150K and never recover the investment. But TCO per unit lives in three different systems. Acquisition cost in finance, maintenance history in the shop software, fuel and utilization in telematics. Nobody stitches it together until a truck is already upside down. The replacement decision happens too late because the data to make it earlier doesn't exist in one place.
Knowledge
Driver Turnover & CDL Shortage
Recruiting a CDL driver costs $8K-$12K when you factor in advertising, onboarding, and the productivity gap while they learn your routes and customers. Your best drivers know which dock at Building C requires a blindside back, which customer wants the delivery before 6 AM even though the window says 8, which truck pulls right when loaded heavy. When they leave, that knowledge walks out. The next driver gets a route sheet and figures it out the hard way.
How We Work
Three steps. Hands on.
We embed with your team, map your operation, find what no one could see, and deploy specialists that fix it. You get a dedicated team, not a login.
Map
We start with a structured discovery. Our team interviews every fleet manager, maintenance supervisor, dispatcher, safety director, and driver trainer across your operation. We connect to your telematics, fleet management software, fuel card systems, and maintenance tracking. The result is your Blueprint: a complete, live map of how your fleet actually operates, from dispatch to DOT compliance.
Uncover
We analyze everything we mapped. Our platform finds the PM schedules that consistently slip, the fuel variance patterns by driver and route, the trucks costing more than they earn, the idle time burning diesel and hours. We validate every finding with your team before acting on it. Not a one-time audit. Always running, always finding more.
Execute
Every finding comes with a concrete plan and a deploy button. We build AI specialists that handle the fix end to end. Tighten PM compliance tracking, flag fuel outliers by driver behavior, surface replacement candidates before they become money pits, reduce idle time across the fleet. You approve, they run. We stay with you to make sure they deliver.

From day one.
Week 1
Discovery
We talk to your entire operation.
AI-led conversations with every fleet manager, shop supervisor, dispatcher, safety lead, and driver trainer. Not surveys. Real conversations that capture the workarounds, the PM shortcuts, the fuel tricks, and the route knowledge no system records.
Month 1
Blueprint + First Savings
Your Blueprint is live. Agents are saving money.
A complete, verified map of how your fleet operates, from vehicle acquisition through daily dispatch to maintenance and replacement. The first PM compliance gaps and fuel outliers are identified, and AI specialists are already in production reducing costs.
Ongoing
Continuous Returns
Savings compound. Every quarter.
Yield keeps finding inefficiencies, deploying specialists, and compounding savings. Maintenance patterns sharpen as more service history flows in. Fuel benchmarks tighten as driver coaching takes hold. TCO models improve with every replacement decision. The platform pays for itself and keeps going.
FAQ
Common questions.
Our PM schedules slip constantly because the shop only has two bays and the trucks are always on jobs. Can Yield fix preventive maintenance compliance when we're capacity-constrained?
PM slippage is rarely a scheduling problem. It's a coordination problem. The truck is due for a brake inspection, but it's on a three-day job. By the time it's back, the shop is booked with two other units. Yield maps your PM due dates against job schedules, shop bay availability, and backup vehicle capacity. It deploys a specialist that sequences PM windows into natural job gaps so maintenance happens without pulling a truck off revenue work. One fleet cut their PM overdue rate from 34% to under 8% in the first quarter without adding shop capacity.
We bought Samsara two years ago and the dashboards got ignored after the first quarter. Our telematics data just sits there. What would Yield actually do with it that's different from another dashboard rollout?
The telematics dashboard problem is universal in fleet management. The data is there but nobody acts on it because a dashboard shows you that truck 247 idled 53 minutes yesterday without connecting it to the dispatch pattern that caused it, the route design that forces the idle, or the policy gap that allows it. Yield ingests your Samsara or Geotab data and connects the behavioral signal to the operational root cause. Then it deploys a specialist that fixes the root cause, not just the symptom. Your team never has to open another dashboard.
We know some of our trucks cost more to maintain than they earn, but our TCO data lives in three different systems. Can Yield actually build a vehicle replacement model for a mixed fleet?
Total cost of ownership in fleet management is fragmented by design. Acquisition cost lives in finance, maintenance history in the shop system, fuel and utilization in telematics, and resale value in someone's head. Yield stitches all four data sources together at the unit level and builds a running TCO per vehicle that updates with every fill-up, repair, and job assignment. It surfaces the specific units that have crossed the break-even line and flags the ones approaching it, so your replacement decisions happen three to six months earlier than they do today.
When an experienced CDL driver leaves, the replacement takes weeks to get up to speed on our routes and customers. Can Yield reduce the knowledge loss from driver turnover?
CDL driver turnover costs $8K-$12K per hire before you count the productivity gap. The new driver doesn't know which customer dock requires a blindside back, which route has a low-clearance bridge, or which receiver wants delivery before 6 AM despite the window saying 8. Yield captures route-specific and customer-specific knowledge during its initial mapping and updates it continuously from telematics, delivery feedback, and dispatch notes. New drivers get a route intelligence package on day one instead of learning through mistakes for the first month.
