Case Study · Life Cycles & Acquisition
RC Willey streamlined operations and cut costs while doing it.
True cost-per-mile analytics by specific asset — settling a Detroit vs. Cummins engine decision with data.
- $0.07 — CPM savings
- 25 — Trucks purchased / yr
- 300k mi — Vehicle lifetime
- $21k — Lifetime savings per vehicle
Lifetime saving per vehicle: $0.07 per mile × 300,000 lifetime miles = $21,000.
The Problem
RC Willey ran multiple Freightliner M2 variants and needed to know which engine — Detroit or Cummins — had the lowest true cost per mile for their operation, while their dealer pushed for an all-Detroit fleet based on a longer PM interval.
The Solution
Link-X consolidated all fleet data into one system, letting RC Willey compare both engines under the same conditions and locations — true cost-per-mile by specific asset, plus the life-cycle insight to back the decision.
The Outcome
Lasting benefits.
Improve Visibility & Accountability
Unified fleet data replaced guesswork.
Reduce Operating Expenses
Lower cost per mile, less downtime.
Increase Efficiency
Smarter acquisition and utilization decisions.
