- Maintain clean systems for: maintenance logs, asset inventory, fuel usage, tolls, claims, violations, and vendor invoices
7) Cost, KPI, and continuous improvement
- Build KPI dashboards and weekly ops reviews: on-time %, route adherence, temp compliance, fleet uptime, cost/mile, cost/stop, claims rate, accidents, overtime, and missed deliveries
