**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**
