Companies who distribute products around requires a lot of different types of vehicle. From forklifts and trucks that run within the warehouse to container trucks and delivery vans that are constantly on the road. Because of the wide variety of needs and huge investment amount, most companies rent their vehicles through a third party vendor.
Vehicle leasing typically charges vehicles daily, monthly or even yearly. However, most companies don’t know whether vehicles are optimally used or not because they never measure their usage. What ends up happening, is that some of the rented vehicles may never hit the road. This means that oftentimes companies are getting charged by the vendor for underutilized vehicles.
