- Calculator Chargeback rate calculator Build a defensible internal rate in a few minutes. Escalates the replacement reserve to future purchase cost, which is where most funds come up short.
- Guide Do the DOT rules apply to me? The weight, passenger and hazmat thresholds, and the interstate-commerce trap that catches fleets that never cross a state line.
- Guide Building a replacement scoring model Turn "this truck is the problem" into a ranked list with criteria you published in advance — the version that survives a budget meeting.
- Template Chargeback rate workbook Every vehicle class at once, a rate schedule you can publish, and a recovery tracker for the year. No email required.
- Guide What actually belongs in cost per mile The most quoted and least comparable fleet metric. What belongs in it, and why leaving depreciation out is usually the reason a number looks good.
- Guide Measuring and fixing PM compliance The one maintenance metric that predicts the others. How to define it honestly, and how to raise it when the shop is already behind.
- Template Replacement scoring worksheet Score every unit on six factors, rank them, and test whether your band thresholds produce a list your budget can actually fund.
- Guide Setting fleet chargeback rates that survive budget season The two-part rate — fixed monthly plus variable per mile — and why a single blended number quietly starves your replacement reserve.
