Fleet Route Optimization

Intermodal carrier reduces empty miles through routing optimization.

An intermodal transportation provider partnered with SCPI to reduce high empty repositioning miles that were driving cost and capacity inefficiency across major markets. SCPI baselined empty miles by market, identified priority lanes and operational drivers, and implemented routing optimization logic and operating rules to cut empty repositioning. 

The rollout included localized training, standardized performance reporting, and a continuous improvement cadence to sustain gains — resulting in optimized route design, sustained reduction in empty miles, and improved utilization and planning efficiency across the network.
