How Fleet Right-Sizing Solutions Can Reduce Costs in the Last Mile

For any business that relies on transportation to get its product from Point A to Point B, finding ways to cut costs is always a top priority. But in today's e-commerce-dominated world, where speed and convenience are critical, simply cutting costs for the sake of saving money is no longer enough. You need to find ways to save money without compromising on service.

What Is Fleet Right-Sizing?

You might be wondering, what exactly is fleet right-sizing? In short, it's the process of ensuring that your company's fleet is the perfect size for your business needs. Fleet right-sizing might seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised how many businesses either have too many vehicles or not enough. Having too many vehicles ties up valuable resources that could be best used elsewhere, while not having enough vehicles leads to inefficiencies and delivery delays.

Why You Should Focus on the Last Mile to Cut Costs

We are always looking for ways to cut costs and improve efficiency in business. One area that is often overlooked is last-mile delivery. Last-mile delivery is the final leg of the journey from you to your customer. It's the most expensive and time-consuming part of the journey and can make or break your business. At Curri, we specialize in optimizing your last-mile and less-than-truckload (LTL) operations to help you cut costs and improve efficiency across your entire business.

There are a lot of moving parts to managing a business. Sometimes, things go wrong despite our best efforts. That's where exception management comes in; it allows businesses to plan for the unexpected and keep things running smoothly.

It's vital for companies to be able to adapt to changes in demand. Curri's virtual fleet allows businesses to scale up or down depending on your needs. We offer over 13 different types of vehicles, ensuring that you always have the perfect vehicle. You no longer have to use a box truck to deliver something that can easily fit in a pickup truck. This allows your business to be more flexible and responsive to market changes and drastically reduces the cost associated with owning and maintaining a traditional fleet.

Reduce Staffing, Fuel, Insurance, and Maintenance Costs

With Curri, you can be confident that your fleet is a perfect size, which means you'll save money on fuel, maintenance, and other operational costs. According to the American Trucking Association, the trucking industry is currently short around 50,000 drivers. So, what can construction companies do to ensure they have enough drivers to meet demand? The solution is Curri's virtual fleet. Distributors can access Curri's network of experienced, insured, and background-checked drivers on an as-needed basis without worrying about the high costs associated with traditional in-house fleets.
